Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Eden Prairie, MN
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
The tub overflowed once. Why is the ceiling below being opened?
Because of the volume. A tub of that size holds around fifty gallons, and when that goes onto a floor at once very little stays in the bathroom: it runs between the boards into the joist bays and lands on the ceiling underneath. The bathroom itself is often the smaller part of the job.
There was no overflow, just a slow stain below. Where is that from?
Most often the connections under the tub deck. A tub set into a tiled surround has its waste and overflow fittings enclosed with no access, so a weep there runs into the floor structure for months with nothing visible in the room. Reaching it usually means opening the deck or the ceiling below, and the ceiling is normally cheaper.
Is a winter loss quicker here?
Noticeably. From November through March the furnace keeps the indoor air dry, so the building assists the equipment and a floor structure comes down faster. In June the lower level is still cool, the air outside is humid, and nothing mechanical is running, which leaves the machines carrying all of it.
