Did You Know: The Drying Process is the Most Important Step in Water Damage

7/20/2021 (Permalink)

When dealing with water damage, it is important to call a water damage restoration company, so that they can help dry out your home as soon as possible. If you decide to do the remediation on your own, you can easily miss water that can go to other parts of your home and further cause more challenges like further damage, higher repair costs, and even health risks. Moist and wet areas are the perfect breeding environment for bacteria and mold.

Restoration Professionals, like SERVPRO, use specialized drying equipment that is industrial grade and very powerful. The drying out process can be tough if you have a bigger house but our highly trained technicians at SERVPRO can assess the damage properly and fix it for you. It is crucial to keep drying equipment running 24 hours a day to ensure the structural integrity of your home is not compromised after a water damage. Do not turn on your household fans, or keep your windows and doors open while the drying equipment is running, without first consulting your restoration professional. The drying equipment used by us is not like your household fan, our equipment is of top quality and doing this will interfere with efforts to dry your home and may prolong restoration. Our team of professionals will closely monitor your home’s moisture and humidity levels inside and will make proper adjustments to ensure that everything will be restored back to its normal condition as soon as possible.
