Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Juneau, AK
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material. The wet area is sealed, air movers and dehumidifiers run as one system, and the material is read at marked points every day against a dry standard from an unaffected room. The equipment leaves on the readings rather than on a date, and the final readings are logged so the rebuild starts on a documented dry structure.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is muskeg ground?
A bog: a deep layer of partly decayed plant material holding an enormous amount of water, lying over the glacial soils beneath. In a climate with this much rain it never dries out, so it is saturated as a permanent condition rather than after wet weather.
Can a drain be run through it?
It rarely achieves much. Taking water out at one point simply draws more in from the bog around it, so a drain in muskeg runs continuously without lowering anything. What works is separating the building from the ground rather than draining the ground.
What does that mean for how things are built?
Piles down to firm ground, or a floating pad designed to settle evenly, rather than a conventional footing. Where a building was put on ordinary foundations, it is still settling, and that is worth establishing before treating movement as a water problem.
