Balancing Principles Efficiently Dries Levittown Property Water Damage

Experienced restoration professionals of our SERVPRO team must balance several factors to produce the most efficient and productive drying efforts for your property. By allowing any of these three principles to skew, any of the subsequent restoration processes could be adversely impacted, such as:

• Drying
• Cleaning
• Construction
• Mold Prevention

Humidity

To provide the most efficient water restoration for Levittown homes possible, specific drying principles must be manipulated simultaneously to achieve a productive balance of these factors. Humidity can be one of the largest obstacles to efficient and effective drying of the structure and contents. The air can only be saturated to a specific point before the drying process is halted. This stoppage is prevented by a sufficient number of dehumidifiers that absorb water molecules in the air and discharge them outside.

Temperature

Temperature impacts the drying process in two important ways. The first of these is increasing chemical and natural methods of drying. Faster molecule movement leads to more expedient evaporation. Warmer temperatures can also increase the moisture capacity of the environment, allowing relative humidity to grow to accommodate productive ground drying efforts by strategically placed air movers.

Air Flow

The final drying principle critical to efficient and effective structure drying and content recovery is airflow management. When several rooms of a property are impacted by spreading moisture damage, it is often necessary to place multiple air movers within the affected spaces to regulate surface water damage on wall systems and flooring. The more air movers are used to evaporate moisture in materials directly, the more this increases the humidity of the work area.

There are multiple drying principles critical to the restoration and recovery of water-damaged homes and businesses throughout the area. Carefully seeking a productive balance among these areas helps to ensure that restoration completes as quickly and completely as possible.
