Some humidity is part of your home's environment, but it can cause trouble when that average level changes.

To restore humidity levels, our SERVPRO team can take some of the following actions:

• Use infrared and thermal imaging to identify areas with excessive moisture, even those hiding behind cabinets and under your floors
• Use Injectidry technology to move warm air through your wall cavities and accelerate the evaporation of excess moisture
• Inspect your ventilation system and apply cleaning solutions as appropriate to avoid the spread of bacteria throughout your home
