Contents Pack-Out Real Project Before & After
Every project undergoes rigorous psychrometric monitoring until structural materials return to calibrated baseline dry standards.
Initial Moisture & Pathogen Assessment
Saturated structural drywall and framing displayed Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) readings exceeding 28.5%, indicating severe capillary wicking and immediate mold proliferation risk.
Psychrometric Mitigation Deployed
Applied high-velocity axial air movement, LGR dehumidification, and targeted subfloor vacuum extraction to maintain vapor pressure differentials below 30 GPP.
Certified Post-Mitigation Clearance
Achieved equilibrium moisture content under 11.2% WME across all framing bays with zero biological pathogens and hospital-grade clearance certificate issued.
Why We Invented This: The Science of Contents Pack-Out & Climate Storage
Secondary damage occurs when ambient humidity exceeds 65% RH. Books, electronics, and fine furniture absorb airborne moisture even if never touched by liquid water.
