Why Choose ServiceMaster of Savannah?

How long will it take my property to dry?

Drying time is determined by a combination of factors, including the location, duration, and source of water; the types of building materials; weather conditions; and how quickly emergency services arrive. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, ServiceMaster of Savannah can determine when the drying is complete. Your carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no rules for how long it will take for your property to dry, ServiceMaster of Savannah can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.

How do I know when my property is completely dry?

Proper testing with ServiceMaster of Savannah’s specialized equipment is the correct way to determine if things are completely dry. Touch alone may be a false indicator.

Do I need to move out of my property during this process?

If you file an insurance claim, you may receive guidance from your insurance representative. However, this is a decision you must reach on your own. There are several factors to consider. Safety is paramount. ServiceMaster of Savannah’s equipment is as childproof as possible, but we require your supervision to make sure no children play with it. Air movers and dehumidifiers will create noise and make your property drafty for a few days. It is important that the equipment remains on, so if the noise is disruptive to you, you might want to consider an alternate place to stay.

Who is responsible for paying for the service?

Ultimately, you, the property owner, are responsible for payment. As the property owner, you will need to sign a form authorizing the work and payment. If this is an insurance claim, ServiceMaster of Savannah generally collects only the deductible amount and bills the balance to your insurance provider as a service to you. If you have a large loss, your mortgage company may be included as a payee on the payment from your insurance company, and you may need to obtain a signature from them as well. If your claim is not covered or you decide not to file a claim, you will be expected to pay in full at the time of ServiceMaster of Savannah’s service.
