When storm damage strikes, having the right equipment is essential for a swift and thorough restoration process.

When storms wreak havoc on your property, having the right equipment for cleanup and restoration is crucial. In this blog, we'll dive into the specialized tools and equipment utilized by our SERVPRO® team to efficiently and effectively restore your home after storm damage.

High-Power Extraction Equipment

One of the first steps in storm damage cleanup is removing excess water. Our high-powered extraction equipment, including pumps and vacuums, swiftly and thoroughly removes standing water, minimizing the potential for further damage and mold growth.

Industrial-Strength Dehumidifiers

After water extraction, dehumidifiers play a key role in reducing moisture levels in the affected areas. Our industrial-strength dehumidifiers efficiently draw excess moisture from the air, preventing secondary damage and ensuring a faster drying process.

Air Movers for Rapid Drying

Paired with dehumidifiers, air movers facilitate rapid drying of wet surfaces and materials. These strategically placed devices increase airflow, expediting the evaporation of moisture from walls, floors, and other structural elements.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

To detect hidden moisture pockets behind walls or in ceilings, our SERVPRO technicians use thermal imaging cameras. These tools enable us to identify areas that may require additional attention, ensuring a thorough and complete drying process.

Specialized Cleaning Agents

Storm damage often involves the presence of contaminants and microbial growth. At SERVPRO, we utilize specially formulated cleaning agents to disinfect and sanitize affected surfaces, ensuring a safe living environment.

Powerful Odor Removal Equipment

Persistent odors are a common aftermath of storm damage. Our professionals use powerful deodorization equipment, such as ozone generators and thermal foggers, to neutralize and eliminate unpleasant smells, leaving your home fresh and clean.

Advanced Monitoring Tools

Throughout the restoration process, SERVPRO technicians use advanced monitoring tools to assess progress continually. Moisture meters, hygrometers, and other monitoring devices help ensure that the affected areas return to their optimal dryness levels.
