Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Hobbs, NM
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
Fourteen inches a year. Why would a slab still flood at the edge?
Because those inches arrive as a September burst on rock. Caliche does not soak. A 2.46-inch storm is a sheet of water looking for the lowest opening, which is often the slab edge or a pad. The annual total is desert; the afternoon is not.
A playa is a dry lake. When is it not dry?
After the monsoon. Playas on the Llano are the drainage. September fills them, and a manufactured-housing pad next to one is a few inches above a new pond. The rest of the year the playa is a field. The map does not change; the water does.
The water bill jumped and the floor is warm. Rain is not involved?
Usually not. A slab leak on caliche has nowhere to drain, so it travels under the floor. In a climate this dry that can run for months without a smell. The monsoon is the other failure. This one is plumbing, and the caliche is why it hides.
