Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Jeannette, PA
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
Where is the old coal chute?
Low in the foundation wall, usually at the side or the back where a truck could reach it, and about the size of a small window. In a house of this age there is one somewhere, whether or not anything about the wall still shows it.
What was it filled with?
Block, brick, concrete or occasionally just boards and mortar, depending on who did it and when. Almost none of it was tied into the original masonry, so what is there is a plug sitting in a hole rather than a repaired wall.
How is it dealt with properly?
Cutting the old fill out and rebuilding the opening with the wall rather than against it, then waterproofing that section from outside. It is a half day of masonry, and it is a great deal cheaper than the interior work that keeps being repeated instead.
