Using Airflow to Dry Out Damaged Laconia Homes

Multiple factors play a role in the effective drying of your Laconia home. While temperature and humidity levels are critical factors for our SERVPRO professionals to control when addressing moisture removal concerns, we also must consider the airflow in the affected space and how it can get manipulated to improve drying times and the ultimate result.

We have a full team of restoration specialists accredited through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in water restoration (WRT) and structural drying (ASD), but these certifications alone do not ensure the removal of water, thus mitigating damage in Laconia homes. Our success in the restoration of water-damaged properties hinges on the use of drying sciences like psychrometry. Between a balance of temperature, humidity, airflow, and time, our professionals can recover the damage that water can do to your home.

Dry air is one of the essential elements of drying any saturated material. In this same way, less damp air spaces around these moist materials can help air movers and other drying elements to be more productive. A constant airflow can allow for nearly continuous removal of moisture from the surface of the material involved. Air movers are the ideal tool for vaporizing trapped moisture and surface dampness. These devices can not only evaporate free water in affected materials but eliminate the boundary layer.

Boundary layers are a space of cold air just above the surface of moist material. This cooler space exists from the evaporation process. Without moving this cold air away from the surface, further drying practices are ineffective. Air movers can displace this layer with warmer, drier air to continue the evaporation process for moisture removal by our positioned dehumidifiers in the house.

Restoration and recovery are areas where our professionals excel because we have the education and ongoing training to be a reputable choice in our region. Whenever you contend with water loss incidents, let our SERVPRO of The Lakes Region team show you how we can make it “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call today at (603) 527-2518.
