Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Novi, 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 lot is not on a river. Why does the basement take water in May?
Closed basins. The ice left kettles with no stream out. May rain fills those holes, and a basement cut into one is the lowest point. A river lot would have a gradient. This ground does not, which is why a high-looking moraine lot still seeps.
Is this the same clay-till problem as Farmington Hills on the shared gauge?
The gauge is shared; the ground is not. Farmington Hills drains toward the Rouge. This side is kettle moraine: closed basins and a high table around the lakes. Writing both as flat Oakland till erases the mechanism that actually wets a Novi basement.
A 1993 house should have drain tile. Why would it still seep?
Tile assumes the water has somewhere to go. In a kettle the tile discharges into the same closed basin the house sits in. The year is new; the outlet is not. Pumping and grading that create a real outfall matter more here than the build date.
