You understand our water damage restoration process from one of our previous blogs, but have you ever wondered what equipment SERVPRO of Denton uses during this process and how it works?

Luckily, for you, we’ve compiled a complete guide to the equipment we use during the restoration process!

  • Moisture Detectors, Hygrometers and Other Meters: These are used in the third step of the resolution process — water removal and extraction. They measure the extent of moisture saturation in the space. 
  • Infrared Cameras: These are also part of the third step and are used to find the “hidden” or water that makes its way behind the walls and ceilings of your property.
  • Submersible and Gas-Powered Pumps: These use industrial strength to continuously pump high-level water out and help reduce drying time and prevent bacterial growth. They are also used in the third step.
  • Truck-Mounted and Portable Extraction Units: These are used in the third step to efficiently remove water from the property.
  • Industrial-Grade Dehumidifiers: These are used during the fourth step of the restoration process — drying and dehumidification. They help prevent less obvious water damage that doesn’t happen immediately, such as swelling or warping of floors, walls or furniture.
  • High-Speed Air Movers: These create a flow of air across the space including around walls, carpets, pads and furniture. It also helps accelerate moisture evaporation. This is used in the fourth step as well.
  • Industrial Air Grade Scrubbers and Fogging Equipment: These are typically used in the fifth step of the process — cleaning and sanitizing. They help mask odors from the former water damage.
  • Antimicrobial, Antibacterial and Disinfectant Treatments: All of these are used also in the cleaning and sanitizing stage to help disinfect the space and prevent bacterial and mold growth.

Thanks to SERVPRO of Denton, we can be sure that our properties can be safely restored in the event of water damage and that they know what they’re doing with this equipment.
