Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Aurora, IL
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 median year is 1987. Why does our 1910 basement feel like the real city?
Because the median averages a river core and a later sprawl. Along the Fox the stock is much older, and a 1910 wall has no damp-proof course. The number 1987 is a citywide average, not a description of the block you are on.
The Fox is up. We are three blocks off it. Are we still in the water table?
On the river terrace, three blocks is not always off the alluvium. That material carries the river's table, and a basement is a hole in it whether or not you can see the Fox from the porch. Elevation relative to stage matters more than street count, and a high Fox is the forecast.
A window well fills in every May storm. New house, old problem?
A grading problem. 1980s lots in the later sections often drain to the well because that is the low point the yard was given. A well that takes the lot is a landscape failure, not a failed window, and a channel away from it is the repair.
