SERVPRO Offers Quick and Efficient Service to Flood-Damaged Homes in Monticello

Flooding after a storm can be destructive for your home and its contents. It is crucial to safely remove water and start the restoration process after flood damage to your Monticello home as soon as possible. Hiring professionals like SERVPRO ensures that the restoration process can be done safely and efficiently. 

One of the biggest concerns of SERVPRO technicians during the restoration of flood damage to your Monticello homes is contamination. The floodwater accumulated on your property after a storm is considered contaminated and can cause issues if not handled properly. SERVPRO technicians use appropriate safety equipment and state-of-the-art tools to remove the standing water, dry the structure and decontaminate the premises.  

How do SERVPRO Techs Dry the Structure During Water Damage Repairs After a Flood in Your Monticello Home? 

It is important to dry the structure quickly after a flooding incident. SERVPRO techs use a variety of equipment to do this, including dehumidifiers and air movers. The dehumidifiers work by actively removing water vapor from the air and lowering the humidity ratio, thereby increasing the drying rate. 

SERVPRO techs use two types of dehumidifiers during flood restoration- refrigerant dehumidifiers and desiccant dehumidifiers. The refrigerant dehumidifiers are efficient if the temperature is above 500F, while the desiccant dehumidifiers work best if the temperature is below 500F. 

Materials such as carpet pads and drywall that are highly porous are most efficiently dried using a refringent dehumidifier. On the other hand, materials with porosity, such as hardwood floors and concrete, are most efficiently dried using a desiccant dehumidifier. SERVPRO technicians can use a combination of both types of equipment in tandem to increase the rate of drying.
