Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
The fourth step in the six step process is when SERVPRO of Morris/Ottawa starts the drying and dehumidification process. During this time our team will strategically place industrial grade fans and dehumidifiers in the affected area to start drying your home or business. After the equipment is placed, a SERVPRO of Morris/Ottawa team member will return to your home daily to check on the equipment and check moisture levels to ensure your property is drying properly. The monitoring process also helps us ensure your property is drying quickly enough to not cause secondary damage such as mold growth or floor warping during the drying Water Restoration Process.
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.
