Hardwood Floor Drying Mats at Work at a Local Residence

Major advancement has been seen in technology and techniques used in the restoration industry the past few decades.  These advancements allow SERVPRO of Holland/W. Ottawa County professionals to restore a property back to preloss condition quickly, reliably, and more effectively.

Moisture Detection and Measurement Equipment

Scientific drying principles rely upon specialized equipment to detect, measure and monitor moisture levels.

• Infrared cameras can help detect water through a wall, ceiling, or floor making for a more thorough water removal.
• Sensitive moisture detectors, hygrometers, and other meters measure the extent or moisture saturation.

Water Extraction Equipment

Powerful extraction equipment speeds the drying process by removing the majority of water from your property.

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

Drying Equipment

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

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

Odor Removal and Deodorization

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

• Air scrubbers remove airborne particles and contaminants.
• Thermal foggers and deodorization agents control odors.

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.
