Keeping Weather in Mind During Jacksonville Water Mitigation

6/11/2021 (Permalink)

The humidity outside affects the drying plan for water damage inside buildings. SERVPRO knows how to dry and restore your home.

Water Mitigation Projects in Jacksonville Can be Tricky, Rain or Shine

Our ideal water damage remediation strategy hinges around a fast and effective response to the initial incident. The more moisture we can remove in the first few hours and days, the less time and money restorations eventually cost.

One of the most challenging aspects of any Jacksonville water mitigation project is controlling moisture and humidity in the area. Weather can help or harm our efforts in different and sometimes conflicting ways. For example, when the summer sun shines and temperatures rise, these conditions help facilitate faster drying in your home. On the other hand, if that warm day also experiences high relative humidity, SERVPRO technicians may be forced to adapt and use alternative drying strategies. And, in some cases, the weather may become too warm, outpacing our dehumidifiers. To compensate for these effects, we monitor environmental conditions closely during:

• Water Removal Services

• Flood restoration
• Emergency services water damage
• Basement Flooding Cleanup

By considering humidity, temperature, and air movement together, SERVPRO technicians develop a plan to arrange and run water-removing equipment for maximum effect. The exact ratio of dehumidifiers, air movers, and water extractors used in a home can be challenging to determine. Only the years of experience present in a SERVPRO team can consistently use these tools correctly.
