There’s no such thing as a small disaster, especially when a small leak now could blossom into a big claim later. Unseen water can soak through walls, seep through carpet and pool on subfloors, causing major problems over time. When water damage happens, you need help fast. No matter what time of day or night, contact SERVPRO of East Cobb to begin emergency mitigation. Emergency mitigation means under normal circumstances, SERVPRO of East Cobb professionals can be on-site with two hours to begin drying your building and restoring contents. The faster the water is removed the less chance of serious damage to your facility. 

Even small water damages have the potential to cause serious structural and indoor air quality issues over time. The key to avoiding costly future repairs is to handle every water problem as a real threat to your property. SERVPRO of East Cobb has the equipment, training, and experience to find and dry unseen water, before secondary damages occur. The proper equipment makes a measurable difference in reducing the damage expense during a fire or water loss.

When time matters, technology and equipment must be counted on to perform. SERVPRO of East Cobb will answer your call with fast action and a full arsenal of drying equipment. Here are a few of the tools used by our highly trained technicians.

Moisture Sensors are used to detect moisture in carpets, baseboards, walls and other building materials.

Moisture Meters are used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials. The moisture tester provides accurate readings, allowing SERVPRO of East Cobb professionals to monitor the drying process.

Thermohygrometers measure temperature and relative humidity. When armed with this information SERVPRO of East Cobb technicians can calculate and create an environment most conducive to drying. When facing a contaminated water loss, it is not only important to dry the structure, but the structure must also be disinfected and often deodorized.

Ultra Low-Volume (ULV) Foggers will atomize liquid deodorizing agents, producing a fine mist that can easily penetrate the site where odor-causing residues may accumulate. This device can also be used to inject fungicides and disinfectants into wall cavities and other hard-to-reach areas.

Thermal Foggers dispense solvent based products by creating a dense fog. The fog consists of tiny particles of deodorant solution that attach to and neutralize odor causing particles to deodorize structures, garments, automobiles and other places where cleaning cannot reach.

The bottom line? The professionals at SERVPRO of East Cobb have the training and equipment to make it “Like it never even happened.”
