Detecting Water Damages in Your Escambia County Home or Business

11/9/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County uses industry leading technologies to measure moisture content in various building materials.

Water damages are not always immediately noticeable, especially if they occur behind appliances, between walls, or in less frequented rooms of your property.  Moisture, especially in smaller amounts, may not be visible to the naked eye, which can allow damages to go untreated for a longer period.  Untreated water damages, when combined with organic material and humidity, have the potential to develop microbial growth.  Because of all this, it is important to regularly check your property for signs of moisture, such as discoloration, odor, or sagging ceilings, and consult a professional as quickly as possible if you suspect water damage has occurred.

SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County utilizes industry leading equipment to detect hidden water damages, shortening the amount of time the water sits, thus lessening the cost of mitigation and remediation efforts.  Our specialized equipment includes:

• Moisture Sensors, which are used to detect moisture in carpets, baseboards, and walls.
• Moisture Meters, which determine the actual moisture content of various materials. The moisture meter readings allow us to both gauge the extent of damages, as well as monitor the drying process.
• Thermohygrometers, which measure temperature and relative humidity. When armed with this information, our trained professionals can calculate and create an environment most conducive to drying.
