Our Equipment

SERVPRO knows the biggest difference we can make is in our equipment. It is measurable and reduces the loss on a claim report. The right tools do make a big difference, but it also helps when the SERVPRO of Lexington’s trained professionals are on the job fast with the right knowledge to properly dry and save your assets.

It starts with Psychrometrics, which is the study of air and its properties. The properties of air include temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point.  

We can measure these through:

• Moisture meters are used to determine the actual moisture in the contents of the materials that may be wet
• Moisture sensors can detect moisture in carpets, walls, and baseboards

• Thermohygrometers measure both the temperature and relative humidity. 

Once all this data is collected, the SERVPRO of Lexington technician will be able to determine the humidity, dew point, and vapor pressure. That will enhance the direction and equipment used to start the drying process.
