Advanced Technologies Used by SERVPRO of West Fort Worth for Property Damage Restoration

#1: Moisture detection and measurement equipment  

SERVPRO utilizes specialized drying equipment to detect, measure, and monitor structure moisture levels. Infrared cameras, for example, allow technicians to detect water through a floor, wall, or ceiling. Their damage restoration experts measure the extent of moisture saturation in a building using hygrometers, sensitive moisture detectors, and other meters.

The company also takes advantage of remote monitoring applications. By monitoring the conditions of your property in real-time, the restoration team can plan visits based on collected data. At the end of the project, this data can produce better, more reliable documentation for insurance companies.

#2: Water extraction equipment

Commercial water damage restoration and water clean-up can be challenging and time-consuming without proper equipment. SERVPRO's team uses powerful extraction equipment to remove the bulk of water in homes and businesses to speed up the drying process. Some examples of the equipment they use include:

•       Truck-mounted and portable extraction units designed for efficient water removal
•       Gas-powered and submersible pumps to pump high-level water

#3: Drying equipment

Proper drying helps to prevent floors, walls, and furniture from swelling and warping. Once SERVPRO’s technicians have removed excess water from a building, they leverage industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining moisture from walls, ceilings, and floors. Dehumidifiers remove excess humidity from the air, while high-speed air movers cause moisture to evaporate faster.

#4: Odor removal and deodorization

Water, fire, and storm damage can leave behind strong odors. During the clean-up and restoration process, technicians at SERVPRO use air scrubbers, thermal foggers, and deodorization agents to remove unwanted odors and deodorize the space. These machines remove airborne contaminants and control indoor air quality.

#5: Sanitizing agents, disinfectants, and antimicrobial treatments

Depending on the state of the property being cleaned, the technicians may need to use OSHA-approved cleaning agents to remove contaminants and/or odors. Deodorization products control odors that result from excessive moisture, while disinfection products stop the growth of harmful pathogens and other microorganisms.
