SERVPRO Uses Procedural Approaches for Quantifiable Restoration of Amityville Properties

After water leaks into your home and you start mitigation processes such as mopping off standing water and airing the premises, you might not be sure whether these steps are beneficial. Although professional water restorers may follow similar approaches when restoring a property, specific evaluation techniques are applied to gauge effectiveness.

Assessing the level of water ingression is essential before attempting water restoration in your Amityville property. Having an accurate estimate helps in setting realistic drying goals and also ensures there is sufficient restoration equipment. Our SERVPRO technicians use several approaches to get the correct assessments, including:

• Measuring humidity levels in indoor air using hygrometers
• Measuring the depth of pooling water
• Checking moisture content in affected materials

Ascertaining moisture content in materials is the most challenging aspect since materials differ in their physical composition. For wood, it is easy to determine moisture levels using moisture meters and translate the results. For instance, a reading of 10% moisture content in wood means that in 100 pounds of wood, there are 10 pounds of water. For non-wood materials, there is a relative scale. With such tools, our technicians can provide accurate estimates.
