The Role of Humidity

The Role of Humidity

Humidity is the measure of moisture in the environment and can indicate the damage requiring water removal in Buford and Norcross homes.Calculating and tracking the presence and level of humidity in the atmosphere can determine the type of drying and water removal tactics necessary to restore the house. Each of the primary drying principles must be in balance for the most efficient solutions, so humidity must be measured against:

Airflow

Temperature

Affected Materials in Workspace

The Humidity Capacity

The capacity of moisture in the environment is a necessary piece of knowledge to regulate how much work water removal must be done to return a building to favorable conditions. Temperature greatly dictates the humidity ratio, or the capacity for air to hold moisture. As the temperature increases, the capacity for water in the environment increases as well.
