SERVPRO uses the latest technology and equipment for every size water damage restoration service needed for your property.

SERVPRO's Moisture Sensors Assist with Water Damage Recovery in Newburgh

The source of in-home flooding can come from many places. The dishwasher may overflow, the ice machine hose can disconnect, and the water heater can spring a leak. Whenever there is any water intrusion in your home, you can count on SERVPRO to have the right tools for the job.

What Does a Moisture Sensor Do?

When we arrive at a home with water damage in Newburgh, the first thing we do is perform a scope. We use equipment that allows us to track moisture within a structure. One of the pieces of equipment we use is a moisture meter. A moisture meter:

• Detects water in carpet and padding
• Has sharp probes that penetrate through carpeting
• Tracks water that has migrated to the subflooring
• Blinks and beeps to let the tech know there is moisture present
• It doesn't measure the amount of moisture
• is used to detect water in items other than carpeting
