Psychrometry is the study of the air and its properties. It's the science of drying. The properties of temperature, humidity, vapor pressure and dew point are measured to evaluate air conditions in the structure, enabling a SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge certified water technician to create the proper atmosphere for more efficient drying.

Water can damage materials in two ways: first, by absorption through direct contact with water; and second, by absorption of moisture from the air. Measuring the moisture content of the air is critical to the drying process.

SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge, is an IICRC company with certified water restoration technicians. This is just another reason why we are the Scranton area's premier smoke, fire and water restoration and cleanup company. Our technicians have the expertise to make the event "Like it never even happened."
