Water Damage at a Long Beach residence

The Science of Drying

When faced with water damage, we might instinctively reach for towels to dry the wet. We might add fans to aid the process. However, there is actually a science to the drying process. The knowledge of psychrometrics, the dynamics of moist air, is critical to lower the chances of secondary damages. Your IICRC certified and trained technicians at SERVPRO of NE Long Beach/Lakewood know the steps to take when your business or residence experiences water damage:

  • First, we’ll conduct an inspection to detect what material(s) are wet
  • Next, we’ll measure how much moisture is in those wet components and monitor whether the materials are drying properly.
  • Additionally, we’ll speed up the process by using professional drying equipment.  While a wet building can often dry naturally, it might do so unevenly, inadequately or might take too long…all allowing for secondary damages to occur.

SERVPRO of NE Long Beach/Lakewood has the knowledge, advanced equipment and the technology, DryBook (a proprietary tool that provides real-time documentation, updates on the drying process and confirms industry drying requirements are met) to ensure that your water damage is mitigated. We’ll make it “Like it never even happened.”
