Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Once the excess water has been removed in your home or business of Canton, Ohio, the floors and walls may appear dry. However, that is not the case and this is one of the many reasons why hiring a professional is essential. A quick inspection will reveal they are wet to the touch. Nearly all building materials, like wood, drywall, and flooring materials, are porous and therefore retain water. This retained water can cause the materials to break down, warp, or cause mold damage; SEVRPRO of Canton will keep you updated and informed along the whole process, so that nothing comes as a surprise to you.
Drying / Dehumidification
Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your home or business. We’ll carefully monitor the progress using moisture meters until the materials return to acceptable drying goals.
