Drying tools are vital for water restoration companies working in Malden properties

Mitigating water damage emergencies is an intricate process that showcases the experience and hard work of our SERVPRO team. When professionals arrive, we can get to work on removing surface moisture and other mitigative actions that might be necessary. Some of the tools required to help include:

• Wet vacuums
• Dehumidifiers
• Portable electric heaters
• Submersible pumps

What is an Air Mover?

One of the most used tools of water restoration companies in Malden homes is the air mover. In nearly every application, the air mover uses high-velocity outputs to push warm, dry air into a drying zone or against damp materials that require evaporation. A thorough job scoping inspection can help determine where drying and other water mitigation actions might be necessary. Nearly every drying process involves using axial and centrifugal air movers. 

Clearing Barriers that Slow Drying

One of the actions that air movers can take is to eliminate a cool air barrier that forms just above the surface of drying materials. Warmth is one of the critical elements of fast and efficient drying. Centrifugal air movers can be directed at a specific point, allowing our team to target these natural processes and accelerate drying and evaporation of damp surface materials.

Regulating Environmental Conditions

With the damaged area contained by physical barriers constructed with wood framing or PVC pipes and polypropylene sheeting, we can focus on the effect of equipment within this designated space. The placement and frequencies of air movers help regulate air movement within this space and promote a faster surface drying process.

Many applications exist for axial and centrifugal air movers after water damages impact area homes and businesses. Our SERVPRO of Malden / Melrose team has hundreds of drying units available for water damage emergencies of all sizes. Call us today at (781) 665-6396.
