11/4/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Piatt/DeWitt County understands that using the right equipment makes a huge difference in reducing claims loss expenses.  Time is of the essence, technology and equipment must be counted on to perform.  SERPVRO of Piatt/DeWitt County will answer your call quickly 24/7 showing up with exceptional equipment and highly trained uniformed personnel.  The right tool for the job is vital for timely mitigation.    Even more important, the team at SERVPRO of Piatt/DeWitt County  thoroughly understands how to dry a structure and personal property effectively.  Today I would like to explain in detail how different Dehumidification Equipment and Deodorization Equipment. 

Dehumidification Equipment: By extracting water vapor from the air, dehumidifiers lower the relative humidity.   This in turn increases the rate of evaporation.  In a water damaged structure, dehumidifiers pull in the moist, humid air and then discharge dry, warm air. The dry air acts like a sponge, absorbing moisture from wet materials. SERVPRO of Piatt/DeWitt County uses two types of dehumidifiers:

  • Refrigerant Dehumidifiers  - work similarly to air conditioners 
  • Desiccant Dehumidifiers - use chemicals, called desiccants, that readily absorb moisture from the air.

Deodorization Equipment: - 

  • Ultra Low Volume (ULV) Foggers will atomize liquid deodorizing agents, producing fine mist that easily penetrates sites where odor-causing residues accumulate. The device can also be used to inject fungicides and disinfectants into wall cavities and other difficult-to-access areas.
  • Thermal Foggers dispense solvent-based products in large volume, dense fog suitable for confined areas. The fog consists of tiny particles of deodorant solution that pair with and neutralize odor-causing particles. 

Hopefully you will never have a need to clean up after a water loss.  SERVPRO of Piatt/DeWitt County is ready to give you peace of mind.  With a highly trained staff equipped with the latest equipment we are here to help!  Call one of our friendly staff today at 217-935-2992 today!
