Psychrometry is the science of measuring and controlling moisture in air. IICRC-certified restoration technicians use psychrometric principles to restore water-damaged structures safely and efficiently throughout Sonoma County.
Restoration professionals monitor temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and specific humidity (grains per pound) to create optimal drying conditions that move moisture from wet building materials into the air for dehumidifier removal.
The IICRC ASD certification trains technicians to set up drying systems, monitor progress with calibrated instruments, and document the full drying process per IICRC S500. NBRA member companies in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and across the North Bay employ ASD-certified technicians.
LGR dehumidifiers, desiccant dehumidifiers, air movers, axial fans, and digital psychrometric data loggers are deployed and monitored daily until the structure reaches drying goals defined by the IICRC S500 standard.
