Moisture Control Is Crucial to Water Restoration in Hartford

SERVPRO® provides cutting-edge equipment to remove moisture following a water damaging event in your Hartford home. "Like it never even happened."

Our Tools Measure, Trap, and Eliminate Moisture

Once water has encroached into your Hartford home's living space, trouble can begin spreading. Water can soak your floors while finding its way into the air as water vapor. While this form makes people uncomfortable, our machinery can more easily extract it in this gaseous form. Water restoration of your home must include this crucial aspect.

Water restoration of your Hartford residence is a comprehensive process. We use a variety of methods to extract and remove water, ensuring that normal moisture content levels in materials and the air are restored. SERVPRO's thorough approach includes using hygrometers and moisture meters to obtain baseline readings throughout your residence and then comparing the moisture content readings again to normal values.

After a water-related emergency, these are a few of the machines that help us restore your home by controlling moisture:

• Extraction equipment,
• Air movement generators, and
• Desiccant machines.

Extraction devices range in size and power from our pump trucks to hand-held devices. They also include thin equipment that slips under heavy appliances or into enclosed areas (under stairways and cabinet bottoms). Our InjectiDry mats help remove moisture from underneath wooden floorboards and tiles.

While the InjectiDry mats use slow speeds to extract moisture, we also use powerful air movers. Many times, we can rescue carpeting by floating it. We position an air mover to push air underneath a carpet, suspending the carpet in the air.

We use desiccant machines to trap and remove moisture from the environment. As this process unfolds, less and less moisture is available in the air to condense on surfaces, ensuring a fast restoration of your home before water damage can take hold.

No matter when your home needs water restoration, call SERVPRO of Newington / Central Hartford. We help families protect their homes from water damage, microbial infestation, and unwanted musty odors.
