SERVPRO Has an Extensive Line of Equipment to Mitigate Household Flooding in Minnetonka
SERVPRO of Minnetonka works quickly and diligently in times of flooding and emergent water damage situations. Technology has advanced greatly in the past several years and SERVPRO is proud to have top-of-the-line equipment for any situation that presents itself.
What investigation devices are used?
The very first step in restoration is to identify the issue. Scoping provides insight on which areas have been impacted by water and helps our technicians define to what extent structural elements and content have absorbed moisture.
These devices include:
- Inspection Cameras & Borescopes
- Moisture Meters
- Moisture Sensors
- Thermal Imaging Cameras
How do you dry a location after water damage has been identified?
SERVPRO of Minnetonka has several types of pumps used for water removal. The three main types are self-priming trash pumps, high-pressure pumps, and submersible pumps.
Our technicians know how to assess what pumps need to be used in the current site and will inform you, the customer, directly on what the ideal process will be for the job. Water extraction is crucial to the restoration of the building.
What is used to dry the home?
SERVPRO handles situations efficiently from start to finish. Our technicians know how to use the equipment in the right ratio for the most optimal drying process.
Centrifugal Air Movers focus on replacing the damp, moist air. Axial Air Movers drive larger volumes of air for use in large community rooms, garages, and basements.
We have a wide variety of dehumidifiers at SERVPRO to absorb moisture from the air - refrigerant, conventional, low-grain refrigerants, and desiccant.
