Providing Your Chicago Home with the Right Drying Equipment

Air movers are a vital element to drying out water-damaged Chicago residences, whether it is an apartment or a two-story townhouse in the boroughs surrounding the city. Water loss incidents can become a substantial threat that worsens continually until the appropriate measures get taken to dry out saturated elements and construction materials. Centrifugal and axial high-velocity air movers play a crucial role in this process in many drying stages.

Just having the equipment to dry out the water damage in Chicago residences is not enough. The placement and number of these units are equally essential to the process, and that is why this determination is part of the primary scoping process for damage assessment taking place when our project manager first arrives at a new job site. Knowing what a project needs before our technicians first arrive ensures that we show up prepared to address the needs of your property most efficiently and cost-effectively.

With hundreds of air movers ranging in sizes and types at our SERVPRO warehouse, choosing the ideal units for the specific damage to your property is not as complicated as it might seem. These machines are designed to get connected in what we have labeled a daisy chain. By connecting one unit into another, we eliminate the need for excessive cords running throughout the household.

We have to find a balance between the number of air movers and the number of dehumidifiers in a damaged space. We begin by designating an air mover for every affected room, but can increase this number for:

• Every 50 square feet of wet flooring or lower wall surfaces.
• Every 100 square feet of wet ceiling or connected wall surfaces.
• For any wall inset or offset more significant than 18 inches.

A balance between the necessary air movers and the dehumidification units necessary to remove moisture in the air is vital. Disrupting this balance can lead to slower drying or worse damages. Our SERVPRO of Marquette Park / West Lawn / Ford City restorers can calculate the needs of your property and return it to preloss condition quickly. Give us a call anytime at (773) 337-3993.
