How Can SERVPRO Provide Efficient Water Restoration in Aging Livermore Homes?

SERVPRO Equipment Our experienced SERVPRO teams have the skill and state of the art equipment to restore your Livermore home after water strikes.

The Building’s Envelope can Directly Impact the Efficiency of Water Restoration in Livermore Properties.

The construction of your home can play a role in how easily it can be dried and restored. We can determine these conditions during our water damage inspection when our team arrives.

How Can the Building Envelope Change? 

Many variants can influence the building envelope and the subsequent pace and cost of water damage restoration for Livermore homes. For example, homes built before the 1990s had less of a focus on energy efficiency and reducing air penetration, so sealing up all possible openings was not vital. Envelopes fall into three possible categories:

  • Tight – Drying is barely impacted by outdoor conditions.
  • Moderate – Outdoor conditions somewhat influence drying.
  • Loose – Drying is heavily affected by outdoor conditions.

How Do Different Conditions Impact Water Restoration?

Depending on the condition of the house and its respective envelope, the necessary recovery efforts and practices are going to change as well. Openings and vulnerabilities for the house mean that the interior environment can be directly and heavily impacted by exterior conditions in certain situations. Psychometry and drying sciences our SERVPRO team studies show a correlation between moisture migration and the need for humid or warm spaces to seek a balance with nearby dry or cool areas.
