Serving Farmington Hills
Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Farmington Hills, MI
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 Rouge is a park. Why is a backyard swale still a basement problem?
The park is the named river. The swale is the unmarked tributary the plat left in the yards. May rain plus leftover melt fills that swale, and a 1978 basement is a hole in its bank. Looking at the named river misses the water that never gets that far.
Half the basement sits on peat. Does that matter decades later?
It still settles differently than the till half, so the wall opens along that line and tile crushes on the peat side. Water then uses the opening. A crack that keeps returning on the same diagonal is the contact reporting, not a random pour line.
Novi shares this gauge. What is different on this moraine?
The peat pockets and the Upper Rouge headwaters. Same May inches, different ground. This suburb was cut through oaks over mixed till and organic soils; a basement here is as likely to be in a pocket as on a rise. The gauge cannot see that, which is why the tail has to.
