A hygrometer is a tool that measures how much moisture is in the air (humidity). During water damage cleanup, crews use it to check if wet areas are drying properly.
Why it’s important:
Shows if dehumidifiers are working
Helps prevent mold by making sure air isn’t too damp
Looks like a little box or a smartphone sensor
Example: The restoration team checked the hygrometer to see if the basement humidity was low enough to stop mold growth.
Fun Fact: Some hygrometers also measure temperature – like a weather station for your wet drywall!
