Water Damage Restoration

Whenever moisture makes its way into your home, mold can become an issue quickly. After you have a water damage problem in Pottsville, mold can start growing if organic materials stay wet for longer than 48 hours. To prevent mold growth and issues from getting worse, our SERVPRO technicians extract water when it is in liquid form and then dry out wet building materials and contents. Extraction takes place using a heavy-duty truck-mounted extractor with specialized attachments or perhaps just a wet vac and a mop. The rapid structural drying process then commences using air movers and dehumidifiers. This is key to complete return to preloss condition.

It used to be that any time drywall inside a building got wet, it had to be removed. In most situations, when there was moisture detected inside a wall cavity, the drywall was cut a foot or two above the floor so that air could get inside the cavity. These days, in most cases, we can dry out wet materials using the right amount of air movers to create circulation and dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air.

If the drywall is extremely wet, then our SERVPRO technicians can use an injection drying system to force air behind your drywall and into your wall cavity. To do this, we drill holes in your wall and insert the tubes into the holes so that the machine pumps air into your wall cavity, thus drying it out.
