The Application of Drying Mats in Remediating Properties After Water Damage

In the aftermath of an extreme weather event or internal property problem, you need professional help to restore your commercial property or residence. Finding a professional service is easy, but finding one you can trust can be difficult. The proper training, certificates, and licensing are not easy to come by in the restoration industry. A lack of training could lead to poor service that creates as many problems as it fixes. We have technicians with IICRC certificates in a range of water, fire, mold, and odor control restoration techniques.

For properties suffering from water damage in Brandon and the surrounding area, local services come in useful. When there is standing water, the longer it is left unchecked, the more likely it is to cause permanent damages. As water sits on fabrics, it gradually weakens them and seeps below the surface, making them more challenging to dry. SERVPRO uses technicians based in Brandon, resulting in shorter call-out distances. We also operate a 24-hour emergency call line so that you can reach us anytime, day or night.

Equipment for Water Damage Restoration

SERVPRO uses a range of advanced equipment to help rapidly dry and clear water from the affected area. Drying mats are particularly useful in residential properties. We place these in multiple locations, and they sit on top of floorboards. They use a centralized ventilator that connects to each mat and helps to draw moisture from spaces that you cannot reach with a traditional water extractor. Employing drying mats is particularly useful in preventing secondary moisture damages like mold growth.

In dealing with moisture, it is crucial to ensure the affected area is completely dry. That includes the surrounding atmosphere of the room. SERVPRO uses moisture meters to establish the correct dryness of your home and sets it as our "dry goal." At the end of service, your technician can assess the humidity in the affected area to ensure that the job has been completed correctly with a minimum risk of secondary damages.
