SERVPRO Can Save Middletown Offices Time and Money During Water Restoration 

SERVPRO is among the leading water restoration services for commercial spaces in Middletown. Our IICRC certified professionals offer a fast and efficient service to ensure minimum downtime for your business during the water damage restoration.  

The water restoration process of your Middletown home begins with a thorough inspection of the affected area by SERVPRO professionals. The interaction of moisture with the material determines the nature and extent of the water damage. Porous and permeable materials stand at the highest risk of being damaged after water incidents such as burst pipes or ceiling leaks. 

Common Terms That SERVPRO Techs Use During Water Cleanup of Your Middletown Office Space

SERVPRO techs in Middletown use several scientific terms to describe the relationship between moisture and material after a water incident. Some of these that you should be aware of including the following-  

• Vapor barriers- When SERVPRO techs talk about a vapor barrier surface, they mean that it is practically impervious to water. Common vapor barriers in your commercial structure might include vinyl wallpaper, gloss and semi-gloss paint, and a 4-mil polyethylene sheet commonly installed behind drywall. 
• Hygroscopic materials- Materials that readily absorb water vapor from the air and retain them are called hygroscopic. If the humidity during a water damage incidence increases beyond 60%, hygroscopic materials readily can undergo secondary damage. Some examples of hygroscopic materials include carpet, insulation, and upholstery. However, the good news is that hygroscopic materials are easier to dry as well.
