SERVPRO Operate Flood Damage Restoration Services for Niagara Falls Residents

Exterior walls can be adversely affected by flood water intrusion. These are typically a challenge to dry adequately once water migrates into the cavity. One of the core reasons for slow drying times is the insulation within walls that can absorb moisture quickly while simultaneously restricting airflow and ventilation. 

When flood damage occurs in your Niagara Falls home, it causes significant disruption to your everyday life. Demolishing an exterior wall can further disrupt your situation, which is why, despite it being a quick-drying solution, SERVPRO often opts to dry the cavity through other means. It is essential to avoid condensation within exterior walls as this can cause lasting damage. 

• Drilling holes in the top and bottom of exterior walls is vital to ensuring airflow, ventilation, and cavity drying.
• Injecti-dry systems can push warm air to enhance drying
• Technicians use heating and monitoring equipment to prevent the walls from reaching dew point and suffering condensation damage. 
• SERVPRO works hard to reduce inconvenience by drying exterior walls rather than demolishing them altogether.
