DEW Point Temperature

Dew point temperature

Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture vapor, and can hold no more water vapor. When air is cooled, its capacity for water vapor is reduced. Eventually, if temperature is cooled enough, the relative humidity will reach 100%, or saturation. When this occurs, the air has reached its dew point temperature.

Calculating the dew point temperature is especially important when monitoring humid air masses. Typically, the most humid air mass in a structure affected by water intrusion will be the indoor air. Restorers then compare the Dew point to surface temperatures throughout the structure. If surfaces are cooler than the dew point of the surrounding air, water will condense on those surfaces and possibly cause secondary damage.

Note: Secondary damage can occur even if condensation does not. High humidity alone can result in secondary damage.

Drying from water loss

Drying from water loss

In place drying



When performing in-place drying, more airmovers are needed for fast evaporation.

  • In a class 2 or class 3 water loss, air movers are placed every 10'-16'  along the wall.  ( if you use metric  3-4 m) along the wall.
  • Air movers are directed toward the wall at a 15° to 45° angle, depending upon the type of air mover.
  • The air mover snout will almost touch the wall, which means within 1"  (again,  if you are metric- 2.5 cm ) of the wall but not rubbing it.
All air movers ins each area will face the same direction, whether clockwise or counter-clockwise, to ensure that air movers are not pushing against each other .

Best Burger close to ServiceMaster of Salt Lake

A vote was not really taken, so I decided that the best Burger close to our office   is  the Crown Burger  a favorite in Salt Lake City




A pile of Pastrami on a burger.  The combo with fries and a Coke   (no fry sauce)

So when hunger hits, run, don't walk to the closest Crown Burger.


So you may ask, what does this have to do with ServiceMaster of Salt Lake?

When you get take out, get home, drip fry sauce on your carpet... call us to come clean up.  If you can't wait to get home and you spill fry sauce and your Coke (no Pepsi ) on your car seats, we can clean your car upholstery. Yes really..

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.

Vapor Pressure

Vapor Pressure

What is Vapor Pressure?  

Pressure of water on surrounding surfaces and objects, measured in inches of mercury. Directly related to GPP and Dew point.   Vapor pressure is the force that drives higher concentrations of humidity from one space to another- vapor pressure always seeks equilibrium.
