We are Highly Trained Restoration Specialists Our professionals specialize in residential water damage restoration, with training focused on restoring salvageable items, and accelerating drying time while documenting the entire restoration process.

The drying method involves equipment like air movers and dehumidifiers that can be noisy. Homeowners will sometimes turn off the equipment at night. Please do not turn off the drying equipment!

Here's why:

Turning off the Drying Equipment Allows Humidity to Rise-

Water damage equipment provides a constant airflow throughout an air-tight space. If you open a window, you negate the machines' ability to work. You also allow moisture from the outside to enter the building.

Feeling the Walls Isn't a Good Indicator of Moisture-

Did you touch the walls to see if they were wet? You might think they're dry far before they really are. Fingers and hands aren't good indicators of moisture levels, especially if water is trapped behind surfaces, which it usually is.

It Will Cost You More, in the Long Run, to Turn off the Machines-

Worried that the cost to run the water damage equipment is sending your utility bills sky high? Actually, it could be much costlier to keep turning them off.

Check with your insurance company too. Your coverage may allow them to pay for a hotel room for a short period.
