Serving Fort Collins
Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Fort Collins, CO
Commercial air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the structure, with daily moisture-meter readings logged for your insurer. 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.
Every pro in our network is licensed and insured in Colorado.
Frequently asked questions
Sixteen inches a year. Why is May the month basements here actually move?
Because May is melt plus rain on the Poudre's schedule. The annual total is small, but a large share of it arrives as water already in the channel and in the alluvium, plus whatever the hogbacks shed. The gauge in town is a poor account of what the ground is doing.
The 2013 water went down streets that look fine now. Is that still the path?
Yes. The Poudre has not moved. A 1992-median basement on that path is still the low opening, and a smaller May peak will use the same streets even if it never makes the national news again. The map of the last flood is the map of the next one.
We are on the hogback, well above the Poudre. Out of it?
Out of the channel, not out of May. A hogback lot is a steep catchment, and melt plus rain run to the uphill wall in minutes. You trade a river problem for a grading and retaining problem, which is the other half of this town's May.
