Storm damage can be overwhelming, let SERVPRO of West Loop / Bucktown / Greektown help you with your property storm damage.

Choosing the right air mover is important after flood damage

When there is flood damage in your home, it is tempting to try and sort it out yourself. It might seem that opening windows and perhaps running fans is enough.

However, after flood damage in West Loop, it is much better to call in the experts. SERVPRO has access to professional remediation equipment that you simply will not find in your basement or garage. One crucial bit of kit is air movers, which shift air across the surface of the floor, walls, or furniture and encourage water evaporation.

The three main types of air movers we use are:

• Centrifugal air movers use centrifugal force to direct air to a specific area.
• Axial air movers produce higher volumes of air at a lower pressure than centrifugal units, allowing them to cover a greater area.
• Structural cavity drying equipment directs air into wall cavities to change the pressure and enhance evaporation.

Using the correct equipment means faster drying and less risk of fungal growth in damp materials.
