Who Can Dry and Clean My Sevierville Home After a Loss?

Many times water damage is not a DIY situation. Contact SERVPRO for effective water removal.

Our SERVPRO team can offer fast restoration solutions to dry and recover damaged areas of your home after a water loss.

Cleaning up after a water loss incident might not seem like a dire situation, but inadequate cleaning and recovery of damaged areas can lead to costlier conditions. Microbial threats thrive and spread quickly through areas where moisture and dampness might still exist, leaving cause for concern for DIY drying and cleaning.

What Tools Are Necessary for Drying My Home?

While there are several steps ahead of water cleanup for Sevierville homes, drying is among one of the most vital in a water loss situation. We utilize several premier tools and advanced technologies to identify moisture pockets beyond surface materials and to ensure that the job gets completed thoroughly and efficiently. Some of these tools include:

• Air Movers – high-velocity fans that can either work on drying out an entire room or area of the home or that can focus blasts of heated air at specific materials. These tools are vital to amplify evaporative drying techniques. 
• Drying Mats – With hardwood and tile flooring, moisture pockets can be a troublesome threat for air movers to reach. Drying mats pull moisture from materials in a controlled manner, allowing our SERVPRO team to monitor progress and not over-dry the wood.
• Dehumidifiers – Evaporative drying increases the moisture content in the environment, and dehumidifiers work to eliminate that. 

Am I Responsible for Cleaning the House After Restoration?

Cleaning up after a water loss incident can mean wiping down surfaces and even refinishing some of the damaged wood in areas of the house. Homeowners can often assume this is their responsibility to address, but our team can also complete this along with other mitigation, restoration, and even reconstruction needs your property might have.

No matter how severe water losses might seem in your home, our SERVPRO of Sevier, Jefferson & Cocke Counties team can help. Give us a call at (865) 429-8885 to make it “Like it never even happened.”
