Flood damage in Newark homes? SERVPRO has you covered.

The Role of Dehumidifiers in Flood Damage Restoration

A crucial component of flood damage restoration is the appropriate use of dehumidifiers. SERVPRO's trained professionals can usually tell if the equipment is functioning correctly the air exhausting from the dehumidifier is drier than the air sucked in. However, our technicians evaluate using grain depression (GDEP) for accurate results. 

When you require flood damage restoration for your Newark home, you should contemplate professionals with access to professional-grade equipment. Air movers and dehumidifiers play a crucial role in reducing moisture and humidity levels after a flood. 

How to determine the effectiveness of a dehumidifier:

• Technicians use the grain depression reading to see the amount of water pulled from the air. 
• The grain depression reading multiplied by the movement of cubic feet per minute, divided by 71, equals the number of pints of water pulled from the air daily. 
• 71 represents the rest of the mathematical equation required to produce the accurate number of pints. 
• The formula is Pints Per 24hr = CFM x GD / 71.
