SERVPRO of Des Moines NW for Water Mitigation

Best Equipment for Restoration-Drying

One of the many reasons we enjoy what we do is because we like to see the effective and immediate results of our service.

SERVPRO has a reputation of investing in the best restoration equipment available and providing our customers with confidence that we can restore your home or business to its "preloss" condition.

Here is a brief explanation of the drying equipment we typically use on a job:

Air movers. Our high-speed air movers evaporate moisture at a faster pace with powerful high velocity blowers. There are three different types of air movers that we fancy.
- Axial: Axial blowers are specifically designed to force large amount of air across a wide space. These air movers only move horizontally, which makes them ideal for drying walls or top-down drying treatments on carpets.
- Centrifugal: These are a compact style of fan. They draw air from multiple sources and direct it all into a particular spot. So, as you can imagine, these are designed for spot treatments. These can often be adjusted to provide airflow in different angles, too. Some good examples of where these are most used at are in places like closets, crawl spaces, and under cabinets- anywhere hard to reach!
- Compact: These are the most compact fan of our bunch. These air movers are versatile enough to be used for an array of things- both large and small. They are smaller in size, light weight, and quieter than the centrifugal fans. While only having a ¼ horsepower motor, they still pack a punch and are able to quickly and effectively dry areas.
Desiccant Dehumidifie Unlike refrigerant dehumidifiers that use condensation, our desiccant dehumidifiers use a silica gel wheel to pull moisture out of the air like a sponge. These machines can work in temperatures as low as 32-degree Fahrenheit! That’s a world of a difference compared to their 70-degree Fahrenheit counterpart.

SERVPRO of Des Moines NW is known for having the absolute best restoration equipment money can buy. Our equipment paired with years of experience and IICRC training are just a few of the many reasons why you should turn to SERVPRO of Des Moines NW for your future mitigation and remediation needs. We are here to help for any job big or small. Put us in your emergency contacts at 515-986-3711.

Why You Should Call A Professional

12/10/2019 (Permalink)

When my husband and I bought our first home, I can’t express the overwhelming feeling we had. We had finally quit throwing our hard earned money out the window on rent and finally had a place to call our own! A place that we could watch our 3 kids grow into young adults, a place that we could paint the walls whatever color we would like, finally being able to hang our family pictures to the wall instead of trusting the silly putty wall hangers because we couldn’t put nails in the wall and get our deposit back. Your home is your castle, whether it’s a one bedroom one bath starter home that you bought to start your journey in life, or it’s the dream home that you built after years of hard work. You see, it doesn’t matter whether it’s your first or the 100^th home you’ve owned, when you pull in the driveway you can’t help but feel pride in ownership. So I find myself trying to answer this question; what would drive you as a homeowner to trust SERVPRO of Des Moines NW to restore your castle after a disaster?

Here are a few reasons why I would trust our crew in my castle:

Culture

At SERVPRO of Des Moines NW we believe in treating every home or business we step foot into as if it were our own. One of our company goals is to treat everyone and everything as you would if it was our family going through this loss. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small stain on the carpet or three feet of raw sewage in a basement, we will treat your loss with the utmost respect and professionalism.

Communication

At SERVPRO of Des Moines NW we know that communication is key. When you experience a loss in your home, you have many questions. It is our goal to have someone available to answer your questions right away. We want you to know that as our customer, we work for you, not the other way around. We have worked hard to develop our brand in the city as the company that works for you!

You and your insurance company will be informed every step of the way. We always work on an approval only basis. This means that we will only do the work that you as the homeowner and/or your insurance company has approved. We want to make sure this process is as smooth and painless as possible.

Dry First

At SERVPRO of Des Moines NW we believe in Applied Structural Drying. In simple terms, we do not want to come into your house and just start tearing things apart. We have invested a lot of time and assets into equipment, training, and tools that allow us to dry the structure with minimal disruption. If there is a way to extract and mitigate the damage without tearing out floors and/or walls, we have the equipment and knowledge to do it. By doing this, we minimize the disruption of your life and more importantly keep the overall cost of the loss down.

Highly Trained Specialists

Since first opening the doors in 1967, training has been the backbone of SERVPRO success nationwide. In Des Moines, this is something that is very important to us as a company.

Faster to Any Size Disaster

A fast response is crucial! An immediate response helps to minimize the damage and the cleaning and restoration costs.

Water is particularly invasive, quickly spreading throughout your property and being absorbed into floors, walls, furniture, etc. Our Technicians arrive fast and start the extraction right away. The faster we can extract and stabilize, the fewer things become damaged.

At SERVPRO we utilize the 1-4-8 method when responding to emergencies. Within the first hour you will receive a follow-up call from our team, letting you know our estimated arrival. Within the first 4 hours, we will arrive on-site ready to start mitigating the loss. Within the first eight hours, we will have a job scope verbally communicated to the property owner.
