Just because something appears dry does not mean there is not mold producing moisture within the walls. Mold can grow can an incredible rate so making sure that moisture is removed properly is very important. If moisture is not controlled, a small water mitigation project could turn into a massive problem.

At SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton, and Southern Lake Counties, we use moisture meters to detect moisture to make sure everything is dried to preloss condition. The meters are very sensitive and are tuned to pick up any moisture within drywall, carpet, structural wood, and other porous objects. Technicians use this data to determine if the materials are affected. Based on the type of water, technicians are able to determine which building materials can be saved.
