Repair verse Replace

Knowing the proper way to dry a structure saves the homeowner both time and money.

SERVPRO of Hazleton/Dallas/Harvey's Lake believes in the restore versus replace model of restorative drying. What this means is that following any smoke, fire or water disaster we dry/clean and save any item that can be restored back to its original condition.

This is important to know for several reasons. First, it saves time and money by getting the home or business back quicker. Second, it limits any out of pocket expenses by working within the guidelines that the insurance industry sets. Lastly, it can help preserve priceless family heirlooms.

By having the airflow both under and over it (floating) helps facilitate the drying process. Creative drying is just one reason that insurance companies rely on companies like us to make their insured whole. If your home or business experiences a smoke, fire or water disaster call the company your insurance company would call.
