"It Looks Dry"

4/4/2018 (Permalink)

We often hear comments such as "it looks dry" or "it feels dry", from home owners or property managers that have had water damage to their property.  But often times, a structure that has been affected by water intrusion does not dry out quickly when relying on Mother Nature.  Did you know that there is an actual science behind the process of drying a structure?  When materials are wet, moisture will naturally move to drier air at the surface of the material - but only if the air is - actually drier.  As we all know, here along the coast, higher humidity is a fact of life.  Some may think that a couple of fans and the air conditioner will take care of it - but how will you know?  That's where SERVPRO comes in.  We have the monitoring and drying equipment to speed up the drying process before it leads to further damage, such as mold or wood rot.  All of our technicians are trained in the science of drying, and follow IICRC standards when drying a structure.  With the right equipment, and experienced employees, why risk trying to let it dry on its own.  Call the professionals at SERVPRO of Corpus Christi East.
