Equilibrium Sciences for Efficient Drying of Charlotte Homes

Thorough Water Removal in Your Charlotte Home Can Prevent Further Damage
When drying out a damaged Charlotte home after a water loss incident, our technicians must seek to exploit nature’s need for natural balances to maximize drying and water removal. Psychrometry is one of these scientific studies that our water restoration technicians (WRT) become familiar with during their education and field experience recovering water losses. Understanding the pull of present forces to even out, can help experienced technicians increase the output of placed machinery and restoration techniques.
Determining how nature seeks to balance damage before drying and water removal for Charlotte homes can Indicate the best approaches for removing lingering moisture and saturation from construction materials and contents. Our SERVPRO professionals utilize three natural laws of nature to continue the pace and effectiveness of drying tactics. These laws include:
- High Pressure Goes to Low Pressure
- Hot Goes to Cold
- Wet Goes to Dry
These facts also lay out the essential elements of efficient drying, such as temperature, air pressure, and humidity. When two spaces differ in any of these areas, nature seeks to create a balance between the two by working to make both of the damaged regions equal in moisture content, temperature, and pressures. Recognizing the differences as they exist, and before natural equilibrium can get reached, is a productive practice in the hands of our SERVPRO technicians.
Our professionals must work never to allow the house to reach a point where all of these elements, like air pressure, temperature, and saturation level out. When warmer temperatures present in one drying space migrate to colder regions or pressure begins to level out between several damp areas of the home at once, we must continue to modify these results with warm, dry air and focused equipment. Ineffective drying happens when wet areas still exist, but equilibrium has stalled the movement or change of these three primary factors.
Understanding the science of drying can help our SERVPRO of North Central Mecklenburg County team provide effective water removal and drying services to damaged homes. No matter how we can help, give our emergency response team a call 24/7 at (704) 596-9700.
