How does equilibrium moisture content affect water removal in Bristol homes?

Equilibrium moisture content is a condition where a material's moisture content has stabilized in relation to the surrounding air in your home or business. Why is this important, and how is equilibrium moisture content established?

SERVPRO water removal experts in Bristol study this concept and many others to ensure your home's contents and structure are returned to normal moisture levels after water damage. Carpets and underpads may be soaked with water, and the subfloor may also have absorbed moisture. Removing water and moisture is essential to avoid issues later, such as mold and weaknesses in the subfloor structure.

Our teams establish and measure the moisture content of the surrounding air and materials affected by water damage. The following processes accomplish water and moisture removal:

• We use weighted water extractors on carpets and underpad
• We may float carpets to allow dry air to absorb moisture
• Air movers blow dry air over and under wet areas
• Dehumidifiers remove the moisture

Once our measurements indicate materials have reached equilibrium with the surrounding air, they have returned to their normal moisture levels.
