TL;DR
A psychrometric reading is a paired measurement of air temperature and relative humidity, taken with a thermo-hygrometer, from which technicians derive dew point and grains of moisture per pound of dry air. Water damage crews log readings from the affected area, an unaffected reference room, outdoors, and each dehumidifier's outlet—typically daily—to document that equipment is removing moisture on schedule.

Insurance adjusters expect these logs to justify drying days billed.
