Advanced Technology and Techniques

In recent decades, the restoration industry has experienced significant advancements in technology and techniques, enabling SERVPRO of Norwood / West Roxbury Professionals to restore properties more quickly, reliably, and effectively than ever before.

One key advancement in the industry is the development of standards by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). The IICRC sets practical standards for restoration and cleaning, including the widely used IICRC S500 Water Damage Guide. This guide outlines specific standards that incorporate the field of psychometry, which involves manipulating temperature and relative humidity to remove moisture and dry a property quickly and effectively.

These standards are crucial in ensuring that restoration professionals have the knowledge and tools necessary to restore properties back to their preloss condition. By following these standards, SERVPRO of Norwood / West Roxbury Professionals can provide high-quality restoration services that meet or exceed industry standards.

With the help of these advancements and standards, SERVPRO of Norwood / West Roxbury Professionals can effectively handle any restoration job, no matter the size or complexity. Customers can trust that their property is in capable hands and will be restored to its preloss condition quickly and efficiently.

Moisture Detection and Measurement Equipment

Scientific drying principles rely upon specialized equipment to detect, measure, and monitor a property’s moisture levels. Recent advances, like infrared cameras, can help us detect water through a wall, ceiling, or floor.

  • An infrared camera may be used to identify water location for thorough water removal.
  • Sensitive moisture detectors, hygrometers, and other meters measure the extent of moisture saturation

Water Extraction Equipment

Powerful extraction equipment speeds the drying process by removing the bulk of the water from your home or business.

  • Submersible and gas-powered pumps for continuous pumping of high-level water. 
  • Truck-mounted and portable extraction units perform efficient water removal.

Drying Equipment

Industrial strength air movers and dehumidifiers are needed to remove the remaining moisture from ceiling, walls, and floors of your home or business. Proper drying helps to prevent swelling and warping of floors, walls, and furniture.

  • High-speed air movers causes moisture to evaporate at a faster pace
  • Industrial grade dehumidifiers pull the water vapor from the air.

Odor Removal and Deodorization

Water and fire damage often causes powerful odors. The machines we use remove airborne contaminants and control the air quality during the restoration and cleanup process.

  • Air scrubbers
  • Thermal foggers and deodorization agents

Sanitizing Agents, Germicides, and Anti-Microbial Treatments

The use of OSHA-approved cleaning agents may be needed to clean and remove odors and/or contaminants on your property.

  • Deodorization products control odors from excessive moisture.
  • Disinfection products stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms.
