Water Damage that is difficult to Dry

When you call SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Central Austin for a water loss we don't just come out and demo everything out.  We follow IICRC S500 the industry standards for water damage.  Our responsibility in mitigating your loss is to limit any further damages.   Damages are not always caused by the water.  Sometimes the service company deems everything non salvageable and removes everything that is wet causing more damage than the water. 

The industry has been slowly migrating to drying materials in place limiting the need for repairs once your house is dried out.  Our team has been practicing these methods for over 15  years now. 

Sometimes this calls for some creative drying methods especially on commercial jobs where demolition may not be an option and time is critical.   We can often dry difficult to reach moisture by adding containment, tenting or specialized drying equipment that can inject air. 

You can see some of this type of drying on our Facebook page.  Be sure to read the photo captions.
