Structural Drying & Dehumidification in New London, CT
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.

Frequently asked questions
The submarine base is upriver. Is that the flood source?
Not the main one. The Sound and the Thames mouth set the tide on this peninsula. A northeaster raises both from the ocean side; the base is a neighbor, not the hydrology. A cellar downtown wets from the cove, and Ocean Beach wets from the spit.
Why does October matter more than a summer thunderstorm?
Because October is storm-tide season here. The rain total is only half the story; the Sound is already high, and a northeaster holds it there. A summer cell can dump and leave. An October northeaster wets a cellar and then freezes the joints around that moisture.
Is a house on the spit a different job from one on the hill above the base?
Yes. The spit is overwash and a water table the tide sets. The hill is seepage in pre-war basements. One fails from salt and spray; the other from grade. Treating them as the same coastal problem wastes the diagnosis. One fails from salt and spray; the other from grade. Treating them as the same coastal problem wastes the diagnosis.
