The Right Equipment for Water Damages

12/21/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO understands using the proper equipment makes an immense difference in reducing a costly restoration process as well as the amount of time the drying process will take. Here is a list of equipment we use to verify an environment has been dried thoroughly;

• Moisture Sensors are used to detect moisture in carpets and carpet padding.
• Moisture Meters are used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials.
• Thermo-hygrometers measure both temperature and relative humidity.
• Infrared Cameras ca identify the location and extent of moisture in walls very effectively.
• Manometers allow SERVPRO Franchise Professional to measure the difference in air pressure when creating a negative air pressure environment.

The most effective method of removing moisture from a structure is extraction, when water is extracted quickly, the environment can usually be dried much faster. 

• Extractors are used in cleaning carpets and upholstery, as well as removing water from floors following a water damage.

After excess water is removed Air Movers and Dehumidifiers will be placed throughout the structure as needed to finish up the drying process and to make it "Like it never even happened."
