Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification
Our Water Damage Restoration Process

After the excess water has been extracted from your property, it might appear that the floors and walls are dry. However, upon closer inspection, they are likely still wet to the touch. This is because most building materials, such as wood, drywall, and flooring materials, are porous and can retain water.

The retained water in these materials can lead to further damage if not properly addressed. It can cause materials to break down, warp, or even develop mold. That's why it's crucial to ensure thorough drying and dehumidification processes are in place after water extraction.

AtSERVPRO of Norwood / West Roxbury, we understand the importance of properly drying and restoring your property after water damage. Our team uses specialized equipment to detect moisture levels and ensure that all affected areas are thoroughly dried. By addressing moisture in building materials, we can prevent further damage and mitigate the risk of mold growth.
