SERVPRO Assists Federal Way Residents When Disaster Hits 

Time is of the essence when it comes to home restoration in Lockport / Lemont / Homer Glen, mainly when there is moisture in unwanted places. Our professional restoration specialists come to scope the damage quickly and create a plan to begin work as soon as possible. SERVPRO has industry knowledge and expertise, allowing for thorough restoration with the use of professional equipment and products.

What Can SERVPRO do to Mitigate Damage that I Cannot Do on My Own?

Our technicians have access to equipment such as truck-mounted and portable extractors when dealing with water damage in your Lockport / Lemont / Homer Glen home. If you have a substantial leak in your house, a shop-vac just does not cut it when you need larger holding tanks and powerful vacuuming capabilities. Our professionals can also finish the restoration process far quicker than most homeowners trying DIY for the first time. 

If I am not Sure How Much Moisture is in My Home, What Equipment do Technicians use?

  • Moisture sensors detect moisture in flooring, reaching under carpet and pads to the sub-flooring. 
  • Thermal imaging cameras use heat changes within the walls to detect the presence of moisture. 
  • Thermo-Hygrometers measure moisture in the air and is vital in determining the RH (relative humidity goal) for the structure to create appropriate drying goals.

Could I Just Use Box Fans to Dry Out the Moisture?

While technically you may be able to use fans in your home, our high-velocity air movers dry much faster because they are stronger and can direct airflow directly where needed at the floor level. They are also designed in a way that allows the fans to be connected and placed throughout your home.
