"SERVPRO® of Prattville is here for you when disaster strikes. Call us today for all your water damage needs."

When you own a warehouse in Prattville, it is essential to check your roof regularly. Remember, each inch of water weighs around five pounds. Pooled water can cause incredible strain over time and lead to leaks and water damage inside your building. Look for any damage to the perimeter flashing, roof membranes, or penetrations to the roof like pipes, drains, and gas lines. These critical safety measures can deteriorate over time, which leaves you with several potential hazards.

Dealing with a water intrusion in your Prattville business is not fun. You need commercial water removal services as soon as possible to get the standing water out and dry your building to prevent additional loss. Our staff at SERVPRO® of Prattville understands the urgency in a situation like this, so we are here to help whenever you need us. With the professional tools and training we have, letting us handle the problem is the best to get your business back on track.

To dry your structure, we also need to remove moisture from the air. Evaporation adds moisture to the atmosphere, and dehumidification eliminates the moisture. Two systems can be used for drying: an open system and a closed system.

An open drying system exchanges the moist air inside your building with the drier air outside. Opening up windows and using fans and air movers to ventilate the structure exchanges the air. These systems work only when the outside air has fewer grains per pound than the air inside. Outside air should have a high temperature and low relative humidity for the best conditions. The difference between the specific humidity of the air outside and inside is also significant.

In a closed system, SERVPRO® of Prattville techs closes off areas affected by the outside air and areas of your structure unaffected. Dehumidification equipment is used to dehumidify the inside air. We must control the indoor environment with air movers and dehumidifiers for a closed system to work. It is easier for us to dry smaller areas, creating a drying chamber by hanging plastic sheeting or closing windows and doors. Using air conditioning may be used as well to assist us in dehumidifying. 

The drying process moves faster by setting up a drying chamber, and we can dry everything more thoroughly.

SERVPRO® of Prattville is careful to use the best drying system to get your property in Prattville or the surrounding areas dry again after a water loss. Contact us at  (334) 358-1186 for all your water restoration needs.
