The need for Moisture Mapping during Water Restoration  

To ensure the drying process is successful, SERVPRO® professionals perform moisture mapping to determine the extent of water damage. This involves using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint elevated moisture levels in drywall, wood, and concrete. We regularly monitor the drying process to ensure that moisture levels decrease as expected, allowing for adjustments to be made if necessary.  

How moisture mapping guides effective restoration 

• Helps detect hidden moisture 
• Helps determine the placement of drying equipment 
• Helps prioritize areas requiring immediate attention 

Checking For Soot Contamination on Fire-Affected Surfaces 

One vital step in fire damage restoration is identifying the level of soot contamination on different surfaces, including walls. While some areas may appear clean through visual observation, some areas may be lightly impacted. SERVPRO crews wipe the surface with a clean white cloth or sponge and check for dark smudges. This indicates surface soot contamination.  

SERVPRO ensures fast and accurate evaluation of water and fire damage results.
