Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Allentown, PA
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
Can a plumbing leak really cause a sinkhole?
On this bedrock it is one of the common triggers. Carbonate rock dissolves where water moves through it, and a broken lateral delivers a steady concentrated stream to one spot for months. That does in a season what diffuse rainfall would take a very long time to do.
Is there any warning before ground opens up?
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing the signs: a depression that keeps reappearing after being filled, pavement that cracks in a rough circle, a downspout outfall that drains faster than it used to, doors that stop closing squarely. None are proof, but together they justify a look.
My roof is fine but my ceiling is stained. How?
Rowhouse roofs are one continuous plane across several properties and party walls are shared structure, so water entering at a neighboring address travels along framing and emerges in yours. Sorting out where it started usually has to happen before anyone can sensibly repair anything.
