Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Lewiston, ME
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 canal has not turned a wheel in fifty years. Still a cellar problem?
The water is still in it. Mill canals along the Androscoggin were cut below the terraces and were never drained to a dry standard, so they set the water table the cellars were built against. A closed mill leaves the channel.
Ice on the river and rain on the roof in the same week. Which one enters the cellar?
Often both, on different clocks. The rain soaks the terrace and the freeze locks it against the wall; the river ice raises stage in the canals. A cellar here can take yard water and canal water in the same October week without either looking like a flood from the street.
Three families share this wall. Whose leak is it?
The building's, until someone opens it. In a triple-decker the party wall is continuous structure, so a roof or plumbing failure at one address travels before it shows. Sorting the path usually has to happen before anyone can honestly assign the source.
