Water damage can happen when you least expect it—whether from a leaking appliance, burst pipe, or heavy Arizona storm. When it does, it’s critical to act quickly to prevent long-term issues like mold growth, structural damage, and lingering odors. At Peoria Water Damage Services, our team uses advanced drying equipment to restore homes and businesses after water intrusion. Proper setup of this equipment is the key to ensuring your property is fully dried and safe.
Why Proper Equipment Setup Is Important
Water spreads quickly through carpet, drywall, and subfloors. Even if surfaces look dry, hidden moisture often lingers deep within materials. Household fans or shop vacs can’t remove this trapped water. Professional drying equipment, when set up correctly, is designed to speed up evaporation and dehumidification so your home is restored completely.
Our Dry-Out Process
At Peoria Water Damage Services, we follow industry best practices to set up drying equipment for maximum effectiveness:
-
Assessment and Moisture Mapping
Our technicians start by using moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect water in walls, baseboards, carpet, and flooring. This gives us a complete picture of the damage. -
Water Extraction
Before equipment is set up, any standing water is removed with high-powered extraction tools. This step ensures that the drying process can work efficiently. -
Air Movers
We strategically place high-velocity air movers across wet areas. These create consistent airflow, helping moisture evaporate from surfaces like carpet, padding, and drywall. -
Dehumidifiers
Once the moisture is in the air, industrial-grade dehumidifiers capture and remove it. This prevents humidity from settling back into materials and accelerates drying. -
Targeting Small Spaces
Closets, cabinets, and other enclosed areas are especially prone to hidden moisture. We carefully adjust equipment to ensure airflow reaches every corner of your home. -
Daily Monitoring
Our team monitors the drying progress every day, using moisture readings to determine when equipment placement needs to be adjusted. This guarantees complete drying without unnecessary delays.
The Benefits of Professional Drying
Setting up the right equipment properly not only speeds up the process but also protects your home from:
-
Mold growth within 24–48 hours
-
Warped wood flooring and swollen drywall
-
Costly long-term repairs
-
Unpleasant odors and poor air quality
By trusting professionals, you ensure your home is restored safely and thoroughly.
