SERVPRO has some of the most advanced specialized tools and equipment of the trade. If a water leak or intrusion has occurred at your home or business, having professionals with the right tools is key. Water removal must be done properly as soon as possible, or secondary damages may occur, as well as mold growth could start. We use some of the best instruments to determine the presence of moisture in many types of materials. This allows SERVPRO of North Sacramento to determine what and how much is wet and how significantly saturated the walls, floor, cabinets, or ceiling might be. All of this allows us to determine how much and what kind of equipment is needed for the affected area.

Some of the best and most common specialized tools SERVPRO of North Sacramento utilizes are our dehumidifiers and air movers. Both dehumidifiers and air movers come in a few different strengths. Therefore, for each job, we can be sure to have the right equipment that will do the job that needs to be done. The dehumidifiers job is to bring down the humidity in the affected area because the water damage can cause humidity levels to rise, which can cause problems such as creating an environment for fungal or mold growth to begin. With the combination of air movers and dehumidifiers, SERVPRO of North Sacramento attempts to remove the water from the wet material, as well as the excessive moisture in the air, which is causing the humidity levels to rise. Due to the property of water taking the shape of whatever object it is placed in, water leaks and intrusions can cause a lot of damage that cannot be seen on a surface level. If water is against a wall or sitting on top of a floor for too long, it will begin to leak between the walls or under the flooring. 

When this happens there is a specialized machine which helps with the drying process to get between these layers. This is called an injectidry machine. It allows us to push air between the walls to help dry out the wall cavities. Technicians will drill small holes into the drywall and insert the injectidry's tubes into several of the holes to create circulating air flow to dry the walls quicker and more efficiently. The injectidry machine also allows us to dry underneath flooring. We use these specialized drying mats to create an airtight suction underneath each mat. The machine and mats create a circulating air flow that allows trapped moisture to be pushed out from underneath the floor. The injectidry machine requires more time to set up but in the long run it could help save your flooring or walls from having to get replaced.  

These specialized pieces of equipment are just a few things SERVPRO of North Sacramento has to offer when dealing with water damage. If you ever find your home or business with water damage, call us at (916)-587-3438. We will be more than happy to help and hopefully with specialized equipment get you back to your normal life or get your business back up and running.
