Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Richardson, TX
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers remove moisture from the structure, with daily readings logged from the material itself for claim documentation. Structural drying brings building materials back to a documented dry standard using air movers and dehumidifiers rather than surface evaporation alone. Moisture readings are logged through the process so the substrate, not just the surface, is confirmed dry before anything is rebuilt.
Frequently asked questions
The line to the street backs up every year or two.
On clay that moves and pipe that is sixty years old, the joints open and the roots follow the moisture through them. Cutting the roots restores flow for a season or two; it does not address why they got in. A camera survey shows how much of the run is affected, which is what decides between another cleaning and lining or replacing the pipe.
The trees are the problem and nobody wants to lose them.
The trees are following a defect rather than creating one: roots enter where a joint has already opened, drawn by the moisture leaking out. Lining the pipe removes the opportunity without removing the tree, which is usually the outcome everybody wants. Taking the tree out and leaving the pipe as it is generally solves less than people expect.
Doors that used to close no longer do, and the walls have opened up.
On this clay that is the slab moving with the moisture beneath it, which swells through a wet autumn and shrinks through a dry summer. It matters for water because pipe cast into or under the slab moves with it and eventually fails. A jump in the water bill alongside new cracking is worth treating as one event rather than two coincidences.
