Water damage to your establishment can cost you both in terms of downtime and repair expenses.

SERVPRO Offers Chicago Businesses a Fast and Dependable Water Cleanup Service

Water damage to your establishment can cost you both in terms of lost time and repair expenses. It would help if you had professionals like SERVPRO for the water cleanup of your Chicago business who have the training, equipment, and experience to handle the situation. 

The IICRC certified SERVPRO technicians use a targeted approach backed by scientific principles for the water cleanup of your Chicago commercial space. Our restorers measure the thermodynamic properties of temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point to evaluate the air conditions and determine whether these conditions are favorable for drying. The technicians then manipulate temperature and humidity levels to produce optimum drying conditions that do not result in secondary damages. 

What is Humidity Ratio and how SERVPRO Techs use it During Water Restoration of Your Chicago Property?

The humidity ratio is the actual amount of moisture in the air. It is usually expressed as the weight of moisture (in the number of grains) per pound of air. The aim of SERVPRO technicians during water restoration of your Chicago property is to produce air conditions resulting in a low humidity ratio causing evaporation of moisture from wet surfaces.

A low humidity ratio air has little moisture in it and consequently favors faster evaporation. The two ways by which SERVPRO techs can reduce the humidity ratio of the atmosphere are by:

• Removing the excess moisture using dehumidifying equipment, and
• Replacing the heavy, moisture-laden air with drier and lighter air using air movers

SERVPRO techs use these pieces of equipment to produce low humidity ratio conditions to speed up the drying process. Technicians measure, document, and monitor the humidity ratio to create an optimum drying environment.
