Allegany Cleanup and Restoration

Humidity Control in Allegany Fire Damage or Water Damage Incidents

Allegany is a town of 7,493 lying along the Allegheny River. Its development is tied to the railroad expansion of the 19th century. Despite maintaining a small-town charm, it has much to offer, including educational institutions like St. Bonaventure University, which emphasizes liberal arts, and Alfred University Extension Center for local community educational opportunities. One can try different fun activities, including boating and kayaking at the Allegheny River, exploring exhibits at the Allegany Area Historical Association Museum, or attending lectures, sports games, and cultural events.

Some interesting local events include farmers' markets where you can sample local produce and interact with people. The Canticle Farm Market is held every Tuesday. You can catch the next one on February 6, 2024, or other dates. Sports events include basketball games such as Davidson Wildcats at St. Bonaventure Bonnies on February 17, 2024, and Saint Louis Billikens at St. Bonaventure Bonnies on March 9, 2024. You can also watch or participate in athletic events such as the Pink Pumpkin Project 5K on August 5, 2024, which offers a great chance to explore and spend time outdoors. 

Dehumidification to limit secondary water damage

You may be worried about the damages left on your property by spilled water. However, high humidity levels can compound the initial damage when hygroscopic materials absorb moisture and start deteriorating, or mold develops on organic materials. SERVPRO® uses dehumidification to prevent such secondary damages.

How dehumidifiers work

• Drawing in humid air from the room
• Cooling the air to the dew point
• Releasing dry air back into the room

How dehumidification helps after fire damage

A fire-damaged property may have moisture problems that aggravate soiling and corrosion. Dehumidification is one of the best ways to rid materials and contents of moisture since it increases the evaporation rate. SERVPRO crews have desiccant and LGR dehumidifiers for the task. Fire-related residues like soak and smoke odor can be resolved.
