Our SERVPRO techs understand the drying process as we set up equipment to maximize evaporation and minimize water damage in Erie.

Balancing Drying Principles for Efficient Restoration

When restoring your home after water damage, the drying process is critical. While it may seem like a straightforward task, the truth is that many different techniques can be used to achieve the best possible results, depending on your unique situation and priorities. Our SERVPRO® team is here to work with you every step of the way to determine what matters most, including taking steps to safeguard your most precious belongings from water damage.

Balancing Principles for Efficient Drying

When fixing water damage in Erie homes, we use our expertise to get things done right. We know all the ins and outs of drying principles and take a calculated approach to determine the exact number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed. Three main factors influence evaporative drying:

• Temperature is critical because it controls how hot the drying area is. The hotter it is, the more humidity there can be, and the faster surfaces will dry.
• Airflow is essential because it determines how much air moves across wet materials and through moist environments. Luckily, we have hundreds of air movers available, so we can direct airflow to dry things out and prevent further damage.
• Finally, we must take steps to manage humidity. We use dehumidification devices to ensure the air is always at the right saturation level. Too much moisture will slow the drying process.

Tools of the Drying Trade

We offer practical solutions to manage excess moisture in your home or workplace. Our air movers use a powerful centrifugal blower to evaporate water from surfaces quickly. In addition, we use refrigerant and desiccant dehumidification machines to reduce relative humidity and promote continuous drying. Trust us to keep your space safe and comfortable with a dry, healthy environment.
