Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Novi, MI
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.

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
Why is the ground behind the house always wet?
Because it was kept as a wetland when the subdivision was built, rather than filled. It is doing what it was preserved to do: holding water. The lots were laid out around it, which puts a number of houses directly alongside.
Can the wet area be drained or filled?
No, and that is rather the point of it. Preserved wetland is protected ground with restrictions attached to the lots around it, so filling, draining or even clearing within the buffer is not something a householder is free to do.
What drainage work is possible on the house side?
Work on the house side of the buffer line: a proper foundation drain taken to an outlet that is not the wetland, and grading within the lot. It is more constrained than a normal site and it is worth knowing where the line is before starting.
