Broken pipes and then water damage in your Manayunk business can be a massive problem if they are not repaired and water removal services are not performed quickly. Water finds its way into the tiniest crevices and cracks, damaging whatever it comes into contact with. At SERVPRO, our staff is professionally trained to handle these situations in a timely fashion to get your business back up and running regularly again.
 
Once we have removed the standing water with truck-mounted pumps if necessary, our SERVPRO technician creates moisture content goals by either establishing the dry standard or recording the normal equilibrium moisture content as a baseline.
 
The dry standard is the moisture content of materials in an undamaged area of your building which is dry. SERVPRO staff takes moisture content readings from these dry materials.

To establish the dry standard they are looking for. These readings become part of the drying goal for the areas that are wet.
 
We can also take moisture content readings of dry materials in everyday situations, and then use these readings as our drying goals. We use a moisture meter and document how much moisture is in the material every time we monitor how dry the area is becoming. We compare these readings to see if the items are drying correctly. After we have reached our drying goal, the process is complete, and your business is safe again.
 
SERVPRO of Manayunk carefully measures the moisture content of the affected areas is to ensure your business is completely dry again. For a business in the areas of Germantown, Chestnut Hill, or Mt. Airy, give us a call immediately at (215) 482-0800 after you find water damage of any kind.
