Evaporation during water loss FLOOD

Evaporation during water loss FLOOD

Evaporation

What is Evaporation and how does it affect drying when recovering from a water loss?

We always want to remove as much water as possible in flood situation. One way is through Evaporation.all the standing water has been removed but there is moisture in material and air, this is when we want to increase evaporation to speed the drying process.

Evaporation will increase when
  • Wet materials are made warmer.
  • When drier air is used, and
  • When air is moved more rapidly across the wet surface.
This is when you will see us place air movers and dehumidifiers, being that when water is evaporated , the water vapor is removed by de-humidification or ventilation.

water extraction after flood

Water extraction after a flood

On a water loss job one of the most important things we have to remember is not how much water is removed, but how much is left for drying process.
Every drip of water left behind will add to dry down time.
The more moisture left behind the longer the drying process.

We use deep extraction equipment to accomplish our goal of removing all water and drying all affected areas.

Psychrometric Chart used in drying your home

Psychrometric Chart used in drying your home

Psychrometric Chart

The Psychrometric Chart.

To properly evaluate temperature, relative humidity and grains per pound (or g/kg), restorers must use a psychrometric chart. Typically, a restorative drying technician will acquire a dry bulb temperature (either in Fahrenheit or Celsius) and a relative humidity using a thermohygrometer. These two readings establish the capacity of the air mass (temperature) to hold moisture and the relative amount of moisture in the air (relative humidity).

After acquiring these two readings, the technician can then employ the psychrometric chart to calculate GPP  (Grains per pound).  Other calculations are also made if necessary. Once these calculation are completed the technician compares them to surrounding conditions or previous conditions to evaluate drying potential.

Our exclusive carpet cleaning process includes:

  • Preliminary inspection of your carpets to determine the best cleaning method
  • Pre-treatment of spots and stains
  • Pre-application of cleaning products to loosen ground-in soil
  • Rinsing your carpet with clear hot water
  • Post-treatment of any residual stains
  • Carpet grooming for efficient drying and a uniform appearance
  • Placing pads under furniture legs to protect the carpet while it dries
  • Final inspection with you to ensure your complete satisfaction
At ServiceMaster of Salt Lake and ServiceMaster Cleaning (Utah County)  we are committed to the above when coming into your home to clean your carpets.  801-506-0027
