Great Neck Homeowners Rely on SERVPRO for Flood Damage Restoration after a Storm

Hiring professional restorers like SERVPRO to handle flood damage at your Great Neck property can save it from long-term effects. Professionals have the necessary tools and equipment to restore your property quickly without compromising safety. Professional restoration greatly diminishes the chance of secondary damage that can be costly to repair. 

SERVPRO techs prioritize drying during the restoration of flood damage to your Great Neck home. If drying is fast and efficient, it is less likely that the moisture can interact with the building materials and cause any lasting damage. Rapid drying also ensures that there is less chance of microbial contamination. While SERVPRO techs employ several pieces of equipment to speed up the drying process, air movers are the most useful pieces of equipment in their arsenal.

How do SERVPRO Techs use Air Movers During Flood Restoration of Your Great Neck Property?

Air movers remove the layer of humid and cool air in close contact with the wet surfaces and replace it with warmer and drier air. The increase in airflow speeds up the rate of evaporation. Best drying rates are seen when air movers are used in conjunction with dehumidifying equipment.

While SERVPRO techs use several air movers to dry flood-damaged Great Neck properties, they are often rated according to their efficiencies. Typically, the air movers that SERVPRO uses are rated in CFM (cubic feet per minute). The CFM rating indicated the airflow volume in cubic feet that the given air mover can supply in a minute.

Sometimes, the air movers are also rated according to the velocity of air they can generate in feet per minute (FPM).
