Flood damage can be very unexpected. Contact SERVPRO to help with both water removal and to deal with any lingering odors.

SERVPRO helps Augusta homes dry out

After flood damage, getting your home dry once more is the priority. Your home will not feel like your own again until it is clean, dry, and smelling fresh “Like it never even happened.”

If you need help dealing with flood damage in your Augusta home, SERVPRO is here for you. Dehumidifiers are essential when it comes to drying out your house after a flood. Dehumidifiers reduce the amount of water vapor in the air, which means we can dry the area faster.

When using dehumidifiers, there are three things we must take into consideration.

• The size of the area we are drying.
• The extent of the water damage.
• The humidity levels in the air already.

Our teams monitor humidity throughout the process, so we know exactly how long to use dehumidifiers. We also have access to a range of dehumidifiers, including refrigerant and desiccant, so that we can pick the best one for the job.

When your home is dry again, we will deodorize it to eliminate any lingering damp odors.
