Even small water damages to your Madison, WI, property have the potential to cause serious structural and indoor air quality issues over time.

The key to avoiding costly future restoration is to handle every water problem as a real threat to your Dane County, Madison, WI, property. SERVPRO of Dane County West has the equipment, training, and experience to find and dry unseen water before secondary damages occur. The proper equipment makes a measurable difference in reducing the damage expense during a fire or water loss.

How do we detect the extent of water damage from water leaks, bathroom overflows, storm flooding, and the many other causes of water damage? We at SERVPRO of Dane County West use industry-standard scoping tools to detect the moisture levels incurred from water damage. This allows us to effectively dry the affected areas with state-of-the-art drying equipment. 

Scoping involves locating the areas of the structure affected by water damage and defining the extent to which the structure and contents have absorbed moisture. Moisture detection devices are also used to verify that an environment has been dried thoroughly.

SERVPRO of Dane County West uses the following equipment t detect water damage:

• Moisture Sensors are used to detect moisture in carpets, baseboards, and walls.
• Moisture Meters are used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials. The moisture tester provides accurate moisture readings that enable SERVPRO of Dane County West to monitor the drying process.
• Thermo-hygrometers measure both temperature and relative humidity. Capturing these two readings, a SERVPRO of Dane County West Professional using a psychrometric chart can calculate specific humidity, dew point, and vapor pressure. 

Once the scoping is completed, and the affected areas are identified, we use Psychrometry to measure and evaluate air conditions to create the proper atmosphere for optimal drying. Psychometry studies the air and its temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point properties. They are measured to evaluate air conditions in the structure, enabling SERVPRO of Dane County West Professionals to create the proper atmosphere for optimal and efficient drying. 

Water can damage materials in two ways:

1. First, by absorption through direct contact with water.
2. The second, moisture absorption from the air. Measuring the moisture content of the air is critical to the drying process. 

SERVPRO of Dane County West Professionals establish an environment favorable for drying

They also understand how to manipulate temperature and humidity levels to produce optimum drying conditions with state-of-the-art detection equipment without causing secondary damages through improper drying processes. 

When fire and water take control of your life, we help you take it back
