Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Racine, WI
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 lake rose several feet with no storm at all.
A lake this large and this shallow responds to sustained wind by piling up at the downwind end, and the difference between one end and the other can be substantial. No rainfall is involved and it can happen under a clear sky. When the wind drops the water swings back, sometimes repeatedly. Wind direction and duration predict it, not the forecast rain.
The river flooded upstream and nothing overtopped at the mouth.
Where a river discharges into a lake whose level has been pushed up, it cannot let go of what it is carrying and holds it instead. The flooding then happens upstream of the mouth without any unusual flow in the river at all. It is why a property well inland can be affected by an event that is entirely about the lake.
Nothing here absorbs anything.
Clay this heavy takes water very slowly, so most of what lands has to be directed rather than left to soak away. Roof water taken well clear and released where it can spread, the last few feet before a wall pitched away, and a pit and pump for what reaches the footing cover most of it. Anything sold on this soil accepting water deserves doubt.
