SERVPRO Works to Keep You Open for Business

Drying Ceiling in place to reduce disruption and reduce cost.

When disaster strikes and water floods your home or business, you need it dried quickly and efficiently.  Drying things quickly is always important to prevent secondary damage.  But it takes on added significance when the damage is at a place of business.  Every day that your business is impacted is lost revenue. 

Water trapped inside walls and ceilings can be especially troublesome because there’s no easy way to pull moisture through drywall or plaster. Other companies, and remodeling contractors, may be quick to start tearing your home or business apart.  This is not only incredibly disruptive, but it can add huge costs to the repair side of the process. Here at SERVPRO we take unique and creative measures to dry your home in the fastest yet least invasive way possible.

In this case we had a wall that had absorbed some water near the ceiling of this hallway. Other companies would have just ripped the drywall out, but we decided to use a spider hosed attachment on one of our fans to inject air into the wall cavity through tiny port holes. This approach saved the homeowner hundreds of dollars in repairs, weeks of time, and they never had to worry about demolition in their home. This is a fantastic example of how we go above and beyond for our customers.
