4.Drying and Dehumidifying

The SERVPRO team will dry and dehumidify your location after taking careful measurements to determine the ideal number of air movers and dehumidifiers for drying your house or business. While the area is drying, our staff will check the moisture levels of all major floors and walls to ensure that dampness does not cause swelling or bending of floors.

Our technical experience and industrial grade air scrubbers and fogging equipment go well beyond just masking odors.
