Specialty Drying is Our Specialty

Our restoration technicians built this drying chamber to help facilitate the drying of the room. Creative solutions separate us from the rest.

The below picture is the inside of a drying chamber we created at this skilled nursing facility in Scranton. They experienced a pipe break in the ceiling which caused extensive water damage throughout the building. SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge was dispatched to mitigate the damage. Since the break occurred in the ceiling and sent water upwards, the attic and under roof needed to be dried to avoid potential mold issues. The ceiling void was large so this chamber helps isolate and direct specific areas to be concentrated on and dried. As you can see once the chamber is created, we employ the use of a dehumidifier to remove the excessive moisture, thus raising the temperature to help facilitate the drying process. By isolating the wet spots we can dry it quicker thus saving time and money. Specialty drying is just one reason, SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge is the Lackawanna County's leader in smoke, fire and water damage cleanup and restoration.
