The Science of Drying

8/3/2020 (Permalink)

Did you know there is science behind the process of drying? Having the knowledge of psychrometrics (the field of engineering concerned with the physical and thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures) is essential to restoring a water-damaged structure to its preloss condition. While your instincts may be to gather some towels, mop up the mess, and place a fan or two around the area, SERVPRO^® of West Amarillo Professionals are trained in the science of drying and follow strict industry approved standards to help lower the chances of any secondary damages. If your home or business suffers a water damage, SERVPRO^® of West Amarillo will:

• Inspect the building to detect every wet component to prevent secondary damage from happening (growth).
• Measure how much moisture is in wet materials and monitor the drying process.
• Speed up the drying process by using professional drying equipment.

What exactly does it mean to "speed up"? A wet structure can often dry naturally because the environment always seeks equilibrium. When materials are wet, moisture will naturally move to drier air at the surface of the material- but only if the air is, indeed, drier.

The problem is, nature often takes too long and secondary damages may occur while the structure is drying out.

SERVPRO^® of West Amarillo has the tools and equipment to sped the natural drying process along, including state-of-the-art equipment to help dry hardwood floors, tough-to-reach spaces inside walls, and much more. They also use monitoring equipment and a proven scientific process to help speed the drying of your home or business.

The bottom line? SERVPRO^® of West Amarillo has the equipment and training to help make water damage "Like it never even happened."
