Professional Equipment and Technicians are Why SERVPRO Excels at Water Drying in Glendale Heights
Excess water on the dishes in the drainer and a minor spill on a floor in your Glendale Heights home are simple and straightforward problems to manage. Both examples need a towel and a little elbow grease and the issues are resolved. When larger quantities of water soak into building materials or fixtures like carpeting or cabinets the towel method does not cut it. Leaks or appliance malfunctions are challenges only a professional can solve.
When a pipe breaks or an untended tub overflows, restoring your dwelling requires expert water drying techniques in Glendale Heights. Our crews use water removal equipment like submersible pumps and high-efficiency water extractors to suction standing water from floors and out of recesses and cavities. These tools are of limited utility when water soaks into the framing, flooring, or drywall of your home. Other techniques are needed to complete water drying and avoid secondary water damage.
The advanced training mastered by our team members in psychrometry, or the science of drying is why SERVPRO is an industry leader in water damage recovery. Throughout a water damage mitigation project our crews measure and monitor moisture levels. These measurements inform the drying goals determined using industry best practices. Just opening a window or two and hoping the water evaporates risks continued deterioration and the possibility of mold growth if the area is not dried out in 24 to 48 hours.
Our team selects and positions air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers to encourage to movement of excess water from structural components into water vapor. Once the water transitions from wood, drywall, and ceiling tiles into the air our evaporative or desiccant dehumidifiers condense or absorb the unwanted water for disposal. Maintaining an optimal balance of movement and temperature is crucial in SERVPRO’s water drying efforts.
The typical homeowner does not have access to the proper tools or methods for fast and effective water drying. Our crews are dedicated to delivering professional water drying, evidence of why SERVPRO is a vital partner for residents struggling with water damage issues.
