The right tool is vital to timely mitigation. Scoping involves locating the areas of the structure affected by water and defining the extent to which the structure and contents have absorbed moisture.
Moisture detection devices are also used to verify that an environment has been dried thoroughly.
Moisture Sensors - used to detect moisture in carpets, baseboards, and walls
Moisture Meters - used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials and allow us to monitor the drying process with accurate moisture readings
Thermohygrometers - measure both temperature and relative humidity
Water can damage materials in two ways:
- absorption through direct contact with water
- absorption of moisture from the air
Measuring the moisture content of air is critical to the drying process. The professionals at SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton & Southern Lake Counties are trained in proper detection equipment and usage for detecting and monitoring your water damage.
