SERVPRO Focuses on Regulating Moisture Action for Better Restoration of Water Damage

Restoration is essential after property disasters involving water intrusion. Although you may know that restoration goes beyond mopping up the water left on surfaces, you might not understand all the processes necessary to restore your Norwich home to its preloss state.

One unique advantage of letting professionals handle water damage restoration at your Norwich home is the deeper understanding of moisture action. Water interacts with different materials uniquely. It also takes other processes to remove water from the materials, thus reversing its damaging effects. SERVPRO sends a team of well-equipped technicians to help facilitate the different techniques necessary to counter water damage.

The critical moisture actions that influence water damage include:

• Condensation
• Dew point
• Evaporation 
• Vapor pressure 

Controlling the different moisture actions helps prevent or reverse damages. Evaporation is one of the crucial moisture actions since it helps remove the water absorbed by various materials, releasing it into the air. A sustained evaporation rate is necessary for quicker drying of materials. Vapor pressure is closely related to evaporation since more vapor in the air means more pressure levels. Our SERVPRO teams use air movers to sustain evaporation are reduce vapor pressure by pushing away saturated air from wet areas, thus promoting faster drying.

Moisture removed from one section of the house can find a way into another section, thus hampering the overall restoration process. Condensation is the moisture action responsible for such transfer. Condensation happens when humidity in the air cools to the dew point. The condensate can soak materials just like regular water. Therefore, preventing condensation is essential. Our SERVPRO technicians balance the restoration process, ensuring the evaporation rate and dehumidification are balanced.
