How We Dry Tight Spaces - Tackling Water Damage in Salem

2/12/2025 (Permalink)

SERVPRO provides various options for dehumidifying water damaged homes in Salem. "Like it never even happened."

Using Injectidry Systems, Dehumidifiers, and Controlled Demolition

Water damage can spread fast in a property, seeping into crawl spaces, cabinets, and wall cavities. In a city like Salem, where humidity and seasonal weather shifts can contribute to moisture buildup, addressing trapped water quickly is crucial.

When dealing with water damage in Salem, acting fast is essential to prevent lasting problems. Moisture trapped behind walls, under flooring, or inside cabinetry can lead to mold growth and structural damage. Without proper drying techniques, these hidden areas remain damp, creating long-term issues for homeowners and businesses. 

Drying Hidden Moisture Pockets

Standard drying techniques won’t reach water trapped in tight spaces, so we use specialized methods. Injectidry systems push warm, dry air into wall cavities and under flooring, speeding up evaporation. Desiccant dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, preventing humidity from settling into hidden areas. In cases of severe damage, controlled demolition may be necessary to expose and dry out soaked materials properly.

Why Quick Action Matters

Delaying water extraction can lead to mold growth, weakened structural materials, and potential health risks. Moist environments create the perfect conditions for mold to spread, while prolonged dampness can weaken wood, drywall, and insulation. Addressing the problem early on prevents expensive repairs and ensures a safe, dry environment.
