Water Damage

There are four principles that provide successful drying and minimize the possibility of microbial development. In order they are:

1. Excess Water Removal— Absorbing, draining, pumping, and vacuuming all are methods of removing excess water from furnishings and structural materials. Unfortunately, excess water removal is the most violated principle of drying simply because some contractors are not willing to make the investment in equipment and time to remove excess moisture adequately. Water removal takes place in seconds or minutes, compared to evaporation and dehumidification of comparable quantities of water, which may take hours or days to accomplish. It may be anticipated that proper extraction can shorten the “typical” drying job by several days.

2. Evaporation— Evaporation means changing water from a liquid into a vapor. Rapid air movement from professional drying equipment increases the rate of moisture evaporation into the air, thereby reducing the surface moisture available to support microbial growth, along with evaporative cooling of structural and content components, to further inhibit microorganism growth and amplification.

3. Dehumidification— Once moisture evaporates from materials, the relative humidity (RH) and specific humidity (SH) of air increases, along with a corresponding increase in vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is the force exerted by substances in a gaseous state. It is vapor pressure that forces evaporating moisture into structural materials and cavities, and contents which ultimately results in substantial secondary damage, while dramatically increasing the water damage scope and cost. Conversely, dehumidification lowers vapor pressure and draws moisture out of materials into the air to expedite drying.

4. Temperature Control— Effective temperature control affects the rate of evaporation, the rate of dehumidification and ultimately, the ability of microorganisms to grow.
