Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Keizer, OR
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
Labish was drained a century ago. Why is the peat still wet?
Drained is not dry. The ditches lowered the lake; they did not turn peat into upland. A winter water table still sits in that organic soil, and a 1981 crawlspace is a wood box in it. Summer can look fine. November through May is the lake reporting that it is still there.
December is 7 inches. Is the Willamette in the crawlspace or the peat?
Usually the peat. River flood is a mapped event; the monthly winter rain is the ordinary load. Peat holds that rain and feeds the crawlspace from below with the river still inside its banks. Flood is the exception. The peat is the season.
A slab on silt next to a drainage ditch. Whose water is that?
The ditch company's, in a way. Those tiles were laid to dry a lakebed for farms, and they still run. A house on that easement is sitting over a system that is doing its original job — moving water — which is the opposite of what a slab wants. The ditch is not broken; the land use changed.
