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 flood

ServiceMASTER of Salt Lake  801-506-0027

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.

Antimicrobials & Biocides

Biocides & Antimicrobials

Antimicrobials & Biocides

Controlling microbial activity at a restoration site may also require the use of chemical agents.  Before deciding to use an antimicrobial or biocide, it is critical to first understand the terminology, technology and chemistry behind the individual product.  The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) has defined three levels of biocidal activity:

° Sanitizer :   A cleaning or disinfecting treatment designed to  
                      reduce the number of pathogenic     
                      microorganisms to a safe level.  This is the lowest  
                      level of biocidal activity.

° Disinfectant:   A solution designed to destroy or inhibit the
                           growth of microorganisms, but not 
                           necessarily their spores.

° Sterilizer:   A product designed to destroy all microorganisms  
                       (fungi, bacteria, viruses, etc.) and their 
                        spores.

From  ServiceMaster Clean®   home site. 

No other item in your home absorbs more and can affect the appearance of your home like your carpets.

To maintain your carpets appearance, your carpets should be professionally cleaned every six to twelve months.

At ServiceMaster Clean® we have the equipment and expertise to remove dirt, detergent, and moisture.

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

Determine which Dehumidifier to Use

Determine which Dehumidifier to Use

Dehumidifiers ate tool that simply remove water from the air. Much like any other tool, there are situations where a dehumidifier will work well, and other times when a certain technology would be inefficient. General Guidelines.

LGR:  Low Grain Refrigerant. 
Use in most residential / small commercial situations.
Good for warm/high humidity conditions
Adequate for drier conditions down to 34 gpp

Portable Desiccant:
use for difficult to dry situations, such as difficult class-4 losses.
Use if a structure cannot be warmed to a temperature where LGR's would be effective.

Conventional:
Use for simple/small losses.

Hardwood Floor Drying

Hardwood floor Drying 

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.
