SERVPRO techs use the latest technology and equipment for every size water damage restoration project. Call now for the help you need.

We can utilize air movement to maximize evaporation in Frederick properties.

The manipulation of airflow and other drying principles can make for fast and thorough drying of the property. We understand how these individual components work together towards efficient results, and we can begin utilizing tools in our inventory as soon as we arrive.

The Placement of Air Movers

Water damage restoration in Frederick homes relies heavily on the placement and frequency of air movers. There are multiple types of these units, each with its ability to assist the efficient and thorough drying of the property and its contents. Some of these units include:

• Centrifugal Air Movers – these high-velocity air movers direct a focused blast of air at a target surface.
• Axial Air Movers – Unlike a designated target, axial units are best at moisture removal of a general area and environment.
• Low-Profile Air Movers – Like traditional centrifugal air movers, low-profile units can reach less accessible areas more easily.

Eliminating a Boundary Layer

Direct airflow into moist surface materials can overcome barriers of vapor that prevent efficient drying of the underlying material. As a surface dries, cool air forms as a shield directly above the surface, which can be challenging to penetrate for further drying without focused blasts of air from high-velocity air movers in our inventory.

Circulating the Dry Air Produced

Another advantage of air movers is the ability to circulate dry air throughout the designated zone. Dehumidification through desiccants and low grain refrigerant units produces dry air exhaust, which can help promote further evaporation of surface moisture when circulated by air movers.

Harnessing specific drying sciences to efficiently restore homes after water loss effects is critical to efficiently recovering costly damage. Our experienced SERVPRO of Frederick County team is ready to help 24/7 with hundreds of air movers and drying tools. Give us a call today at (301) 662-1747.
