Air Movers Are Important to Resolve Ft Lauderdale Water Damage

12/19/2022 (Permalink)

Water often damages structural parts of the home, like drywall. SERVPRO can completely restore water damage.

Water Damage Gets Managed with Air Movers

Air movers are among our drying inventory's most readily used tools during recovery projects. With multiple types of units suited for different restoration and water removal styles, multiple machines get used simultaneously to manage considerable water restoration undertakings. Air movers arrive on the Green Fleet service vehicles, initially responding to start mitigation for the residence.

Managing Wet Materials 

Wet materials can be one of the most significant obstacles to water damage to Ft Lauderdale homes and businesses. Prolonged moisture exposure leads to secondary effects like mold development, so addressing trapped water is a priority. Centrifugal air movers are the ideal tool to push through cool vapor barriers and continually evaporate moisture on the surfaces of materials like:

• Drywall
• Carpets
• Trim
• Hardwood

Wet Structural Cavities 

Water trapped in structural cavities is only easily managed and overcome. Often, some form of demolition is necessary to allow restoration professionals to access this space and introduce helpful drying tools. Flood cutting limits the destruction of wall systems, and with low-profile centrifugal air movers, air can get directly infused in this cavity without a greater need for material removal.

Overall Drying of the Rooms

While it can be advantageous to direct blasts of air at specific points of a wall system or compromised building material, general drying to manage moist conditions can be equally important. Axial air movers do not operate at the same high velocity as centrifugal units but provide a more comprehensive and effective range for entire rooms suffering water and moisture damage.
