So often we hear “You can’t control Mother Nature.” But what if you could speed up the process of drying when your home or business in Lawrence or Dracut suffers an unfortunate event such as water damage from putting out a fire or burst water pipe? Did you know there is an actual science behind the process of drying? Before reaching for the towels, a mop, and a few fans, read on to learn more about this process.
Psychometrics or the "science of drying" is essential to restoring a water damaged structure to it preloss condition. The SERVPRO® of Lawrence professionals are trained in this science of drying and follow strict industry approved standards to help lower the chances of secondary damages. We will:
What does it mean to “speed up Mother Nature”? A wet building can often dry naturally because the environment always seeks equilibrium. When materials are wet, moisture will naturally move to drier air at the surface of the material, but only if the air is drier. The problem here is nature often takes too long and secondary damages may occur while the building is drying out.
Thankfully, the SERVPRO® of Lawrence professionals have the tools and equipment to help Mother Nature along to dry tough to reach places, hardwood floors, inside walls, and so much more. Using state of the art monitoring equipment and a proven scientific process we help speed up the drying process in your home or business. With the help of technology and our proprietary tool DryBookTM Mobile, you have the ability to know exactly where your Dracut property is in the drying process.
The bottom line? SERVPRO of Lawrence 978.688.2242 has the professional training and equipment to help make it “Like it never even happened.”

When it comes to your business, it is your pride and joy. You pray that a disaster never strikes, ruining all of your hard work.
“Small business owners invest a tremendous amount of time, money and resources to make their ventures successful, yet, many owners fail to properly plan and prepare for disaster situations. According to the Institute for Business and Home Safety, an estimated 25 percent of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster.”1
Creating a business plan for disaster will help protect employees, shorten the amount of time you may have to be out of work, and possibly lessen the financial impact it will have on you.
For more information on how to help prepare your business for disaster, please contact us at 978-688-2242 or SERVPRO of Lawrence.

March is Red Cross Month!
Founded in 1881, the American Red Cross is a charitable organization that relies on donations and volunteers from across the country to carry out their mission. Whether it is disaster relief, blood donations, military family support, or training and certification in CPR, life-guarding, first aid and more, the Red Cross is committed to helping those who need it most. The American Red Cross is part of the Global Red Cross Network, the world's largest volunteer network found in 187 countries, according to The Red Cross.
Every year, March is declared Red Cross Month by the President of the United States. The American Red Cross celebrates this designation by honoring the "everyday heroes" who support and carry out the mission of the Red Cross by donating, giving blood, taking a class or volunteering.
SERVPRO® began a partnership with the American Red Cross in 2013, and became an official Disaster Responder partner in 2016. The Disaster Responder program provides families and individuals immediate support, comfort and assistance when a disaster strikes. Disaster Responders also help communities prepare for disasters ahead of time by participating in preparedness activities such as the Smoke Alarm Installation Campaign.
