It's The Water You Don't See

4/4/2022 (Permalink)

All technicians use moisture meters to read the moisture levels of affected materials at a water loss.

Even small water damages have the potential to cause serious structural and indoor air quality issues over time.

The key to avoiding costly future restoration is to handle every water problem as a real threat to your property. SERVPRO professionals have the equipment, training, and experience to find and dry unseen water before secondary damage occurs. The proper equipment makes a measurable difference in reducing the damage expense during a fire or water loss.

When time matters, technology, and equipment must be counted on to perform. SERVPRO professionals will answer your call with fast action and a full arsenal of drying equipment. Here are a few of the tools used by your SERVPRO professionals.

Moisture Sensors are used to detect moisture in carpets, baseboards, and walls.

Moisture Meters are used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials. The moisture tester provides accurate readings, allowing SERVPRPO professionals to monitor the drying process.

Thermohygrometers measure temperature and relative humidity. When armed with this information, SERVPRO professionals can calculate and create an environment most conducive to drying. When facing a contaminated water loss, it is not only important to dry the structure, but the structure must also be disinfected and often deodorized.

Ultra Low-Volume (ULV) Foggers will atomize liquid deodorizing agents, producing a fine mist that can easily penetrate the site where odor-causing residues may accumulate. This device can also be used to inject fungicides and disinfectants into wall cavities and other hard-to-reach areas.

The bottom line? SERVPRO professionals have the training and equipment to make it "Like it never even happened."
