How Does SERVPRO Use A Dehumidifier

9/21/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Dehumidifier If you have a water loss on your property, call SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda for an inspection today.

SERVPRO mainly uses dehumidifiers for water and mold related jobs. Our dehumidifier plays a large role in drying out commercial buildings and homes. A dehumidifier raises the temperature in the room to help take the water out of the affected materials. 

A dehumidifier(dehu for short) helps control and stabilize the environment. The dehu evaporates the water from the affected materials and air. The dehu basically inhales the wet air and exhales the dry air to eventually dry out all of the affected materials on the property. SERVPRO can create containments to help the dehu target a specific area. 

We recommend leaving the dehumidifier for 3-5 and should be left running all day with no interruption. The dehumidifier makes the area get warmer with time. If the dehu is interrupted it causes the whole process to start over.

The following are some happy reviews from customers that have used SERVPRO of Tarzana And Reseda in the past. 

"In less than 2 years I had a second raw sewage flood in my house.  SERVPRO responded promptly and came to help. The first time they came before I could even get a claim number from Homeowners Insurance and cleaned up a truly disgusting mess that left almost $20K of damage. They were compassionate and worked with me to resolve all the associated issues that arose from tearing out walls, including finding asbestos!! Making a long accolade short, OMAR and MATT came out the second time and knew just what to do. The mess is cleaned up, and now the rebuild can begin. Thank you SERVPRO. You made this awful experience easy and comforting."

  • Janice S.

"We wanted to personally thank SERVPRO for all of their help. We wanted to mention that we appreciate Karina Severance and the friendly staff that helped with the drying and the demo. They all were so patient, hard working and understanding. We couldn't be happier with everything and SERVPRO will be our first call. Sending out a big Thank you to you guys!!"

  • Desiree C. 

"Our roof leaked into 3 bedroom ceilings during the last rain storm, very stressful. During the rains they sent over an emergency tarp service to stop the leak. After the rain stopped they came right away to provide an assessment of the water damage. Mathew and Clayton were great at communicating every step of the way. They set up containment for the removal and sanitation. They cleaned up everything so well, I was so impressed and thankful. SERVPRO will definitely be my first phone call if I ever have another situation."

Benefits SERVPRO's Complete Service Provides

You can expedite the damage recovery process by relying on one company to perform mitigation, restoration, and construction in Tarzana & Reseda homes and businesses. Rather than getting estimates from separate mitigation and restoration companies and having to take time to go through the entire loss again, an owner of a home or commercial property can provide an insurance adjuster with a single estimate and know that they are being taken care of from start to finish. Here are the benefits SERVPRO of Tarzana/Reseda can provide for customers.

1. Streamlined Schedule
A full-service restoration contractor can offer property owners and insurance companies a timeline that accounts for the duration of the recovery process. If additional work is needed, it will be easier to adjust the schedule without trying to work around other companies.

2. A Coordinated Effort
When more than one company is involved in a restoration project it is necessary to fully communicate and verify all requirements. This can ensure that the process of mitigating and construction repairs goes smoothly.

3. Complete Restoration
 Rather than worrying about miscommunication or differences in opinion, a single professional can develop a unified plan. This can prevent delays and help to ensure that a restoration effort will be complete and to our client's satisfaction.

4. Covered Losses 

Insurers are more likely to cover claims that involve work done by a company with a 25-year track record of successful damage restoration and rebuilding construction projects. Look for a one-stop-shop to mitigate and restore fire, water, and mold damage in Tarzana & Reseda, CA.

Why Should You Hire SERVPRO for Your Water Damage Restoration?

It takes lots of work, energy, and time to restore properties following flooding and water damage incidents. Our professionals have the skills and tools needed to remove water quickly and determine the damages to the structure of your property or even your foundation. We also offer construction services.

With this, you will have peace of mind knowing that SERVPRO of Tarzana/Reseda has taken care of everything that’s affected by the flooding and has treated and dried your property to prevent mold growth. Even though the cost is the reason why the majority of people will try doing it on their own, they will most likely save money through hiring professionals in the long run.

Evaluate your time, loss of income, to extra work to dry your area and consider the damage’s extent. If you think it’s too much for you to handle, work with professionals at SERVPRO who can extract water properly and quickly and get you back in your home, property or business quickly.

Pet Storm Preparedness tips from SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda -

Did you know that most dog and cat owners don't have disaster preparedness plans for their pets? SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda urges you to make sure this isn’t you.

You should make a disaster kit for yourself and family. While you're at it make one for your pets too. (This includes medical records and medication, food and water with can openers, leashes, and carriers.)

Tips:

  • Bring pets indoors at the first sign of a storm. Animals can become confused and inadvertently run away from home during a disaster.
  • Arrange a safe haven for you and your pets during an evacuation. Do not leave pets behind.
  • Store an emergency kit—with items such as pet food, bottled water, medical records, a blanket, a flashlight, and leashes—as close to an exit as possible.
  • Make sure all pets wear collars and tags. Also, have your pet microchipped in case of a lost collar. 
  • Place a rescue alert sticker to your front home to let rescuers know that there are pets inside.
  • Choose a caregiver to take care of your pet in the event you are unable to.
