Hicksville homeowners trust SERVPRO for water damage restoration

Ignoring water damage to your Hicksville home can prove costly. Not only can water create a breeding ground for microbial contamination, but it can also slowly cause structural damage to your home. 

SERVPRO's IICRC certified techs have the experience, training, and equipment to help you control the extent of water damage to your Hicksville property. Once our techs are at your property, they use special equipment to scan for the damage and prepare an action plan. The restoration involves creating conditions that speed up the drying process. SERVPRO techs accomplish this task by using dehumidifiers and air movers. 

What is the role of air movers in water cleanup from Hicksville homes? 

Controlling the airflow is one of the most important tools during water damage repair of your Hicksville home. In most drying situations, the faster the airflow across a wet surface, the quicker is the drying rate. SERVPRO techs use air movers to increase the airflow by placing them strategically throughout the affected area. Air movers increase the rate of drying in two ways-

• Help remove the boundary layer: Boundary layer is a thin layer of cold air saturated with water vapor close to the drying surface, slowing down further evaporation. Strategically placed air movers can remove this layer and replace it with warmer, drier air. 
• Circulating dehumidified air: For drying to be fast and effective, the dry and warm air from dehumidifiers must be distributed throughout the structure. Air movers can precisely do this by creating a circular vortex, thereby reducing the humidity ratio of the air.
