Highly Trained Restoration Specialists

Trained Restoration Specialists Serve Kansas City

Kansas City is a magnet for severe weather events on an annual basis. Tornadoes, floods, blizzards, or a lightning-induced house fire all mean that property owners are seeking help. Though the entire street may be underwater, a homeowner looks at this sad development as a personal and often substantial loss.

SERVPRO of Olathe / Lenexa Can Help

Being a premier cleanup and restoration company in our area, we carry a responsibility to help as many of our neighbors as we can in their time of need. How better than to arrive on the scene of the event, with highly skilled technicians who are trained in the best practices of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC.)

Science of Psychrometry--One Key Element in Training

the interrelationship of thermodynamic properties and how they affect the water loss recovery in a Kansas City property dictates the use of equipment and techniques

• Relative humidity RH --we work to stabilize this to 35-45% to increase the drying rate--mitigating wicking and absorption
• Absolute humidity--usually too high in a water-damaged structure
• Dewpoint--water vapor condenses, it is possible to have it "raining" inside a structure if untrained workers do not follow correct methods for drying

How About Help with a Smoky House?

The deployment of equipment to neutralize pungent and unwholesome odors and airborne particulates within a fire-damaged property take a high priority. The health of occupants may be at risk.
