Emergency Water Extraction

Our technicians are trained to seek out hidden water damage.

Our technicians are trained to seek out hidden water damage. Water can flow or be captured in seemingly unlikely places. Undetected, it can quickly turn into future problems. All wet materials are identified through moisture inspections involving:

• Infrared Technology
• Electronic Moisture Detection Instruments
• Thermo-hygrometers

When determining what it will take to dry your property, we use a formula based on many different variables including:

• Impacted square footage?
• Impacted cubic footage?
• What is wet?
• Are materials saturated or damp?
• How many air exchanges are required?
• How many air movers are required?

SERVPRO of Streamwood, Bartlett, West Chicago & Warrenville also has the industry’s most extensive inventory of drying equipment – air movers, air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, thermo-hygrometers, and more. We have a  fleet of vehicles loaded with equipment and supplies that are strategically positioned around the country for rapid response.

Exact and reliable data is critical. Using moisture meters with exclusive proprietary software, technicians carefully measure moisture content and the extent of water damage. We also monitor and document the drying process on a daily basis until optimal drying standards are met. This means the use of professional water drying equipment plays an integral part in our water extraction and drying process.

Dehumidification removes moisture from the air and prevents secondary water damage from condensation. At SERVPRO of Streamwood, Bartlett, West Chicago & Warrenville, we use sophisticated dehumidification equipment. This means we can produce effective drying results and eliminate environmental concerns.

Once again, attempting water removal at home, even if you’re using professional or industrial dehumidifiers does not necessarily mean that all water will be effectively removed from the property. Having a fully trained professional team, from SERVPRO of Streamwood, Bartlett, West Chicago & Warrenville, carrying out this work is the only way to guarantee the full removal of water.
