Dry Me Out, the Science of Drying

4/4/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of The Beaches/Ponte Vedra has 'state-of-the-art' drying equipment to help reduce the affects of secondary damage.

Getting the structure dry is our number one goal. After a flood and water damage occurs, getting dried out is a number one priority to minimize dangerous after effects and secondary damage. Did you know that there is a science behind the drying process?

Having the knowledge of physics metrics is essential to restoring a water damaged structure to its preloss condition. While your initial reaction may be to run for the towels and grab a few fans, SERVPRO of The Beaches/Ponte Vedra Professionals are trained in the science of drying (Psychrometry) and follow strict industry approved standards. If your business suffers from water damage, our beaches SERVPRO Professionals will:

Inspect the building to detect every component that is wet, to help prevent secondary damage from happening.

Measure how much moisture is in the wet materials and monitor whether the materials are drying properly.

Speed up mother nature by using professional drying equipment. A wet building will always seek equilibrium, and try to dry naturally. When materials are wet, moisture will naturally move to drier air. The problem is that nature takes too long, and secondary damage (like mold) can occur while you are waiting for your professional building to dry. We use state of the art monitoring equipment and a proven drying process to speed up the drying time in your business.
