Quick Response and IICRC Certified Professionals Make SERVPRO One of the Best Flood Damage Services in Milton 

Thunderstorms can cause flood damage to your Milton property that can be difficult and expensive to repair. It would help if you had flood restoration professionals like SERVPRO who have the experience and training to minimize damage and speed up recovery. 

SERVPRO professionals use different types of equipment to restore flood damage to your Milton home to detect and remove moisture. After the SERVPRO techs remove the standing water from the property, the next step is to find any hidden moisture and remove it. We use inspection devices to locate the areas of the structure where water has intruded. Some of the devices that SERVPRO techs use for these purposes include- 

• Moisture sensors
• Thermal imaging cameras
• Moisture meters
• Thermo-hygrometers

What Thermal Imaging Cameras do SERVPRO Techs Use During Water Cleanup from Your Milton Home After a Flood? 

Thermal imaging cameras use infra-red light to detect the presence of moisture in your flood-damaged Milton home. While thermography using these cameras does not detect the water directly, it detects the difference in temperature between surfaces. 

For instance, as evaporation is a cooling process, the wet areas of the building generally have a lower temperature than the dry areas. The infra-red camera displays the cooler (wetter) areas darker than the warmer (drier) areas. 

Thermal imaging cameras are useful as they offer several advantages over other ways of detecting moisture. Techs can inspect difficult areas such as high ceilings and check more areas in less time using thermography than other moisture sensing techniques.
