Reading Homeowners Trust SERVPRO with Water Cleanup 

Water damage incidents due to ceiling leaks, burst pipes, or plumbing issues can cause extensive damage to your property. If water cleanup of your reading home does not happen fast, the residual water can continue compromising the structural integrity of building materials. Professional restorers like SERVPRO use a multifaceted approach to ensure that water is removed from your property as quickly as possible and that the damage is minimal. 

When SERVPRO techs arrive for water cleanup at your Reading property, the immediate goal is to identify the extent of damage and chalk out a restoration plan. We use state-of-the-art moisture sensing equipment to detect moisture in structural components of your home and create a drying plan that can effectively restore the moisture level to the pre-damaged conditions. 

Role of Inspection Devices in Water Restoration 

The first step of restoring your water-damaged home is scoping, which involves locating the areas of the structure into which water has intruded and defining the extent to which the structure and contents have absorbed moisture beyond normal moisture levels.

SERVPRO techs use several devices to track moisture within a structure. Some of the instruments we use include:

• Moisture sensors
• Thermal imaging cameras
• Moisture meters
• Thermo-hygrometers

While moisture sensors can detect moisture trapped in carpets and pads, thermal imaging cameras can monitor the moisture in building materials. These cameras can also help the SERVPRO restorers understand how water travels through the structure. 

The thermal imaging cameras detect evaporative cooling and thermal capacitance of wet materials. As water from wet surfaces evaporates, it produces a cooling effect causing temperature changes between damp and dry areas. 

Thermal Imaging Cameras Offer Several Advantages 

Thermography used by SERVPRO techs offers several advantages over other methods of moisture detection, including:

• No destruction to the building
• Ability to inspect difficult-to-reach areas
• Inspect more areas in less time
