Water Damage Restoration in Bay Ridge—Call SERVPRO

Water damage to your Bay Ridge home can cause lasting structural damage if not handled promptly. Professionals like SERVPRO have the knowledge, training, and tools to ensure that the water does not cause irreparable harm to your home. We use state-of-the-art technology to restore your home to its preloss condition as quickly as possible.

SERVPRO techs use scientific principles to manipulate the drying conditions to accelerate drying while restoring water damage to your Bay Ridge home. Our IICRC-certified experts create ideal drying conditions by controlling various physical properties of the air, such as temperature, moisture content, and velocity.

The Role of Psychrometry in Water Restoration

Psychrometry is the study of air and its properties. Restorers measure the various properties of the drying air, like temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point, to evaluate whether the conditions are favorable for drying. If not, the restorers manipulate these conditions so that water evaporates more readily from the surfaces. 

• Temperature plays an important role in speeding up the rate of evaporation. Warmer air can accommodate more moisture and dry a surface faster than cooler air.
• Humidity is the volume of water in the vapor form in the air. The more moisture the air carries, the less efficient it is for drying. SERVPRO techs use dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture from the air and to make conditions ideal for drying.
• Vapor pressure is the pressure that water vapor exerts on surrounding surfaces. Wetter air has higher vapor pressure, forcing moisture into the surface rather than out of the surface. Reducing it results in an acceleration of the rate of drying.

Combining Techniques

Rather than relying on a single drying technique, SERVPRO techs use a combination of methods using strategically placed dehumidifiers, heaters, and air movers to ensure that your water-damaged home dries as quickly as possible. "Like it never even happened."
