What Tools Dry a Residence? 

While there are dozens of tools that get used regularly to perform drying tasks for structures, there are some that get used consistently enough to be foundational equipment in our drying approach.

• Centrifugal Air Movers
• Axial Air Movers
• Dehumidifiers

Axial units are designed to dry broader open areas while centrifugal units target specific areas of damaged materials saturated by water losses. The evaporation causes rising moisture content and relative humidity levels in the affected drying zone, which is where carefully placed dehumidification units come into play to regulate this rising condition. 

How Does Trapped Water in Materials Evaporate? 

While you might consider surface water to be the most significant concern when drying your home, it is the absorbed moisture that can create the biggest hurdle in water removal. Porous materials like wood flooring or absorbent materials like carpeting all require unique approaches to dry. We have several unique practices that can maximize drying output without requiring reconstruction.

• Damp hardwood flooring can get dried with floor mat systems
• Wall materials and structural cavities can dry with positive pressure systems
• Carpets and their respective padding can get dried simultaneously by floating with centrifugal air movers

No matter how severe water losses might be, our SERVPRO of Point Pleasant can dry up the damage fast. Give us a call whenever you need us at (732) 202-3001.
