Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Bothell, WA
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 Sammamish looks like a canal. Why would a 1992 house along it wet?
Because the canal is a peat-lined ditch with almost no fall. November rain raises that ditch into the fill, and peat under the fill holds the water rather than passing it on. A house that looks new can sit on ground that behaves like a marsh. Age of the building is not age of the peat.
We sit in Canyon Park, not on the river. Is the peat still involved?
Under you, probably not. On the path your roof takes, yes. Till benches shed onto the corridor. A downspout that ends at the downhill line is discharging onto fill over peat whether anyone intended it. The wet wall may be a neighbor's; the water may be yours.
The floor has settled in patches. Is that a moisture job?
It can be the same job. Peat compresses as it stays wet and as organic matter decays, so a slab or a pier on that mix loses support in patches. The crack is settlement; the wet is why it keeps moving. Fixing the finish without draining the peat repeats the cycle.
