Using containment to help speed up drying

3/9/2021 (Permalink)

Using this plastic wall will cut the drying time, as well as allow customers to use the other portion of this room.

You have a large basement, and you suffer a water damage, but only on one side of the basement.  We could put equipment in, but it may take a while for it to dry properly, unless there was a way you could make the room smaller.

Well, there is a way!  We can put up some containment, thereby cutting the room in half.  A smaller room will dry quicker.  It is much faster to dry a closet than it is to dry a gymnasium.

By putting up containment, held up by poles (as to not damage the walls or ceilings), it cuts the size of the room trying to be dried.  It also allows the family to live as near normal lives as possible, as they could utilize the other side of the basement (or any room made smaller by containment).

Containment is also used in mold remediation and fire clean up, as we are trying to keep cross contamination from happening from unaffected areas of the home.

So, you have a water damage?  You can relax and call the experts at SERVPRO Bedford Park/Burbank, where we have the procedures and protocols in place to make the restoration as painless as possible.
