Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Once the excess water has been removed by our trained technicians, the floors and walls of your property may appear dry, but a quick inspection will reveal they are still wet to the touch and the job far from complete. Nearly all building materials, like wood, drywall, and flooring, are porous and retain water. This retained water can cause the materials to break down, warp, or even cause mold damage. The expert water remediation specialists at SERVPRO of Phoenix understand this and know there are still additional steps that need to be taken to completely dry out a home or commercial property after water damage of any kind has occurred.
Drying / Dehumidification
Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your home or business. We’ll carefully monitor the progress using moisture meters until the materials return to acceptable drying goals.
