The Tools of the Trade
Flooded basements can leave a great deal of damage in a short time span. Before you begin the restoration process, it’s important to learn more details about the water damage equipment being used. Professional water damage restoration technicians will carry all the essential cleaning and restoration items along with them. Different restoration techniques must be applied depending on the severity of the water damage. Below is a checklist of the most commonly used water damage equipment by highly certified professionals:
- Flood Pumpers
These machines are used to suck up all excess water that cannot be removed by other restoration processes. Flood pumpers vary in size, depending on how much water needs to be removed.
- Wet Vacuum
The most commonly used item in a water damage situation. Wet vacuums are used to remove water from the flooded areas. Wet vacuums differ from regular vacuums in that they rely on specially made containers to suck up the excess water.
- Dehumidifiers
The purpose of a dehumidifier is to prevent the onset formation and growth of mold and mildew. Dehumidifiers are important for people suffering from allergies or other respiratory problems.
- Air Blowers
Air blowers are ideal for drying carpets and other affected areas in a fast time. An ordinary fan simply isn’t enough when attempting to dry off the water soaked areas. Proper air circulation from the blowers greatly reduces the potential for mold and mildew buildup as well.
