How SERVPRO Detects Water Damage

5/10/2021 (Permalink)

Water damages come in all sizes small and large. It does not matter the size of the water damage as long as the water is detected and taken care of properly. SERVPRO uses technology that helps our crews determine where moisture is after a water loss. If the water loss is not inspected properly, a small water loss overlooked can conclude in a large loss, resulting in mold. Here are a few tools SERVPRO of East Portland uses to detect and find hidden moisture: 

  • Moisture Sensors are used to detect moisture in carpets, baseboards/trims and drywall-walls.
  • Thermohygrometers measure temperature and relative humidity. SERVPRO can calculate and establish an environment most conducive to drying. 
  • Moisture Meters are utilized to determine the actual moisture content of different materials. The moisture tester provides accurate readings, allowing us to monitor the drying process.
