How Much Equipment Would be Enough??

Do you ever wonder how we know how much equipment is needed to dry your home properly?

We use Psychrometrics which is the study of the air, and its properties.  The properties of temperature, humidity, vapor pressure and dew point are measured to evaluate air conditions in the structure, enabling a SERVPRO® Professional to create the proper atmosphere for more efficient drying.

Water can damage materials in two ways.  First, materials absorb water through direct contact.  Second, materials absorb water from the air.  Measuring the moisture content of the air is critical to the drying process.

Restoration professionals must establish an environment favorable for drying.  The restoration professional must also understand how to manipulate temperature and humidity levels to produce optimum drying conditions without causing secondary damages through improper drying processes.
