What 1-4-8 Response Times Mean for You

SERVPRO® of Columbia County professionals are dedicated to catering to your emergency 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you experience a loss, within 1 hour of contacting SERVPRO® our crew members will contact your insurer to arrange for service. Within 4 hours of the initial loss, our team will be on-site to start cleanup and restoration to your property. Finally, within 8 hours of arrival, a briefing of the scope will be communicated with your adjuster. SERVPRO® removes the stress of waiting on a contractor for days and promises a hand holding experience.

How SERVPRO® Makes It "Like it never even happened."®

Now that you know how available our team and crew members are to you, let’s get into the science behind the drying, and why the SERVPRO® process is successful. SERVPRO® crews understand that using the proper equipment makes a huge difference in reducing claims loss expenses. That is why we have studied Psychrometry. “What is psychrometry” you ask . . . Psychrometry is the study of air and its properties.  At SERVPRO® we use the properties of temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point to measure and evaluate air conditions in a structure. This method of manipulating the air conditions enable our crews to create the proper atmosphere for more efficient drying.

Advanced Equipment Takes Away Guess Work

Since we now know the science behind the SERVPRO® process, let’s dive deeper into the equipment our crew chiefs and technicians use to execute each job to restore your property to preloss condition. SERVPRO® uses moisture detection equipment to gain a better understanding of what is beyond sheetrock and insulation. Moisture detection equipment uses thermal imaging to decipher and mitigate the need to remove materials to see potential threats of moisture that could later cause microbial growth.
