At ServiceMaster Restore, we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive and specialized disinfection services for a variety of situations in your home. Our highly trained technicians have the expertise to properly remove and dispose of contaminants and pathogens due to things like viral illnesses, rodent feces or sewage backup in your home. Rest assured that our team is equipped with industry-leading products and equipment to ensure a thorough and safe disinfection process for your home.
Drying time after water damage in your home is determined by a combination of factors including the location, duration and source of water; the types of building materials in your home; weather conditions; and how quickly emergency restoration services are started. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, our trained technicians can determine when the drying is complete. For example, your carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no hard and fast rules to determine how long your property will take to dry, we can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.
Opening the windows in your home to assist the drying process is not always recommended. Outside weather conditions may vary. Your ServiceMaster Restore technician will determine when and if opening windows to let in outside air is advisable.
