Psychrometric chart

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.

Soot, smoke & heat....part of fire loss

When a fire disaster happens, its bad enough the loss from burned items. It's secondary damage that can make the loss greater. Heat, smoke & soot  will also be part of  a loss.  Soot being blown through the house HVAC system, smoke filling the house and heat melting common items.

Desiccant Dehumidifiers

Desiccant Dehumidifiers.

Desiccant dehumidifiers utilize chemical attraction instead of condensation to remove water from the air. Because they are not limited by low dew point temperatures and when used properly they produce the lowest vapor pressure of any dehumidifier.

Desiccant dehumidifiers have many applications in restorative drying, but they are most commonly used to dry dense materials such as hardwood floor.

Desiccants do not collect water in a pan for automatic pump-out instead , they produce damp reactivation air, which must be vented outside the structure using temporary ducting. In some situations this venting results in a pressure differential in the drying area.

toilet flood

Cracked toilet tank flooding

Cracked toilet tanks lead  to flooding.  The tank won't fill up because  the shut off  valve will never close without  the tank filling up properly.

A lot of water loss can occur in a very short time.

Hardwood Floor Drying

Hardwood floor Drying #2

Once it has been determined that the floor can be salvaged by in-place drying, the first step is to determine a dry goal for the hardwood and sub-floor  Directing warm dry air under and between the boards, is the most effective way to dry the hardwood. The wood is considered dry when:  

• Hardwood and sub-surfaces are within 2-4 percentage points of normal EMC. ( Equilibrium moisture content)
• Sub-surfaces below hardwood are dried to within 2-4 percentage points of the hardwood.

After the wood flooring has been dried to an acceptable moisture level, It is important to remind people to allow sufficient acclimation time before the floor is refinished.
