Drying principles must be carefully regulated to recover damaged Middletown properties efficiently.

Many variables can either slow or hasten the drying process. Temperature, humidity, and airflow must be considered and modified to suit rapidly changing environmental conditions in a house after water damage incidents.

Isolation and Containment of the Work Area

Before much of the water damage restoration in Middletown homes can begin, our technicians must identify the damaged areas and start processes like containment. Isolating the workspace can be critical to improving the effectiveness of drying methods and restoration efficiency as a whole.

Factors Impacting the Drying Process:

• Humidity 

The moisture content of the environment is greatly influential to the overall drying process and the development of additional threats like microbial organisms. The humidity ratio measures air mass from moisture concentrations, and lowering this value reduces pressure and increases the effectiveness of available drying tools.

• Airflow

The movement of air through the workspace can dictate the pace and thoroughness of the drying process. It is necessary for responding technicians to regulate the placement and the intensities of air movers and ventilation to ensure a stable movement of air intended to vent out moisture and infuse the workspace with dry air.

• Temperature

Molecules move faster at higher temperatures. From heating damp wall systems with portable electric heaters to promote faster drying to increasing the temperature in the entire workspace, our efforts to regulate and steer the temperature of the damaged region of the house can significantly increase the pace of drying.

Regulating drying principles can increase the pace and effectiveness of restoration and recovery after water damage incidents. Our SERVPRO of Middletown / New Britain team can work fast to restore properties after disasters. Give us a call today at (860) 826-5169.
