It Pays to Hire SERVPRO for Flood Cleanup of Your Raleigh Home

Flood cleanup of your Raleigh home is much more than merely removing the standing water from the property. SERVPRO techs understand that the best way to minimize the damage after a flood incident is by removing the residual moisture as quickly as possible. 

SERVPRO techs speed up the drying process during flood cleanup from your Raleigh home by reducing the humidity ratio of the air. A lower humidity ratio increases the evaporation rate of the moisture in the building and its contents. SERVPRO techs accomplish this by establishing a ‘closed drying system’ in which air movement is restricted. The techs develop a controlled environment in the water-damaged area conducive to drying, thus speeding up the process. 

How do SERVPRO Techs Control the Humidity Ratio of the Air During the Water Cleanup of Raleigh Homes?   

SERVPRO techs control the humidity ratio of indoor air by employing the following scientific principles-

• Removing the free moisture from the air by either condensing it or trapping it 
• Increasing the airflow across the drying surface
• Increase the temperature of the air

For removing the moisture from the air, the techs rely on dehumidifiers, which either condense the air (refrigerant dehumidifiers) or absorb it (desiccant dehumidifiers).  

Utility of Dehumidifiers in Water Damage Repairs

Although dehumidifiers are very useful, SERVPRO techs know their limitations. Our techs understand that these can only be used in a 'closed drying system .' Techs use them combined with air movers to get the most out of dehumidifiers. SERVPRO techs also use their frying science and psychrometry knowledge to place dehumidifiers for the best results strategically.
