Our SERVPRO Technicians Thoroughly Remediate Water Damage in Your Home.

If you happen to experience a water damage incident, you have to treat everything as an emergency. Contacting licensed restoration providers is highly recommended so that the damaged areas can be pre-inspected and mitigation measures put in place. A few dangerous situations to address at the time include deteriorated sub-floors,falling ceilings, and electrical hazards. Our technicians carefully examine damaged areas and check for standing water in crawl spaces, walls and floors below. A moisture meter is used to determine the extent of water penetration in your property. Drying wet surfaces is a crucial goal of the restoration, and for that to happen, technicians may position air movers to facilitate the flow of air. Based on the IICRC standards, the professionals determine the number and size of dehumidifiers to put in place. The work of the dehumidifiers is to move dry air into the affected areas and increase the rate of evaporation.
