SERVPRO of Cheshire County has specialty drying equipment for many different types of building materials and circumstances.

DID YOU KNOW there is actually a science to drying out a the structure of a building? Being affluent in Psychrometrics is essential in restoring a water damaged home or business to preloss condition. While an initial reaction may be to grab a few towels or a mop to clean up the mess and install a fan in the affected area, the professionals at SERVPRO of Cheshire County are trained in the science of drying and follow detailed industry-approved standards to reduce the chances of secondary damage. If your home or business suffers a water damage, SERVPRO of Cheshire County will:

• Inspect the building to detect every component that is wet, to help prevent further damage.
• Measure the amount of moisture in in affected materials and will monitor whether they are drying effectively.
• Expedite the drying process by installing state of the art drying equipment.

Why is it important to speed up the drying process? A wet building can often dry naturally because the environment constantly seeks equilibrium. When materials are wet, moisture will naturally move to drier air at the surface of the material-but only if the air is, indeed, drier. The only problem is, the natural drying process takes too long and therefore is a greater chance of secondary damage occurring before it is completely dry.

SERVPRO of Cheshire County have the tools, equipment and expertise to move this process along, including equipment specifically designed for drying hardwood floors, tough-to-reach areas inside walls, and much more. SERVPRO of Cheshire County also uses cutting edge monitoring equipment, and a proven scientific method to effectively dry your home or business.
