Why Do Vernon Property Owners Trust SERVPRO After Flood Damage?

Vernon flood-damaged properties benefit from SERVPRO's extensive inventory of drying equipment like air movers and dehumidifiers

SERVPRO techs dry flood damaged Vernon homes efficiently

One of the most important things to limit the effect of flood damage to your Vernon home is to get it dry as soon as possible. Once the SERVPRO techs remove the standing water from the property, they use dehumidifiers and air movers to control the residual moisture in the structure.  

SERVPRO techs use dehumidifiers to restore flood damage to your Vernon home as they can reduce the humidity of the air and speed up the drying process. However, the choice and placement of a dehumidifier are equally crucial for effective drying. The SERVPRO crew chief decides the type of dehumidifier needed based on PPD (pints per day) value. PPD is the number of pints of water that a given dehumidifier can remove from the air.

How do SERVPRO techs increase the efficiency of dehumidifiers during water cleanup in Vernon?   

SERVPRO techs strategically place dehumidifiers to maximize their efficiency during water clean-up from your Vernon home. The exhaust of the dehumidifier is often directed towards an air mover so that the warm, dry air can be circulated throughout the structure.

SERVPRO restorers use ducting with dehumidifiers to direct hot, dry air from the dehumidifier to various areas. Techs use two types of ducting with dehumidifiers-

• Flex ducting: Techs attach this ducting to the dehumidifier's intake with a zip-tie.
• Lay-flat ducting: Such type of ducting is usually attached to the exhaust and allows the restorers to direct the airflow to specific areas.

How do techs keep an eye on the progress of restoration work?

Techs use moisture sensing instruments like moisture meters and IR cameras to determine whether the drying goal is met.
