Why Use Professional Equipment in Damage Restoration

2/3/2023 (Permalink)

There are no shortcuts to repairing damaged walls, ceilings, and foundations after a disaster.

Cleaning up after property damage is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It takes significant effort to remove the flooring, clean it, and remove the rotten wood. If your home has minor water or fire damage, you can do the clean-up yourself. However, dealing with significant damage on your own is impossible without using professional equipment by technicians.

Property damage necessitates thorough clean-up. However, if the proper tools are not used, the process can cause more damage or take longer.

Professionally qualified experts with the necessary training, expertise, and equipment would ensure that the damages were properly restored. This will also ensure that the restoration process proceeds quickly and easily.

Professional Equipment Used for Damage Restoration

Repairing property damage requires a wide variety of specialized tools, some of which are listed below.

1. LGR Dehumidifiers

Low Grain Refrigerant dehumidifiers use cutting-edge technology to achieve rapid drying. After a conventional dehumidifier has reduced humidity to about thirty percent, an LGR dehumidifier completes the task. These dehumidifiers yield dryer, breathable air by cooling the input air. They also speed up the restoration of damaged areas and use far less energy than other dehumidifiers.

2. Air Movers

Air movers are the best way to dry wet flooring, including carpets. Unlike a fan, an air mover concentrates airflow at ground level. Air is immediately blown over the floor, allowing water molecules to evaporate quickly. Professionals use air movers for thirty-minute cycles. The majority of the water on the floor evaporates within a few hours.

Experts use additional tools for water removal, water damage assessment, soot, and debris removal, as well as deep cleaning.

3. Equipment for Air Purification and Moisture Removal

Moisture removal is critical for fire recovery. Homes that have been burned may be prone to water damage, and the longer the moisture remains, the worse the damage. Restoration teams routinely use dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air; they also have additional equipment to help with air quality on the job site. Air movers work to route air to dehumidifiers, while negative air machines remove impurities from the air.

4. Vacuums

Another method used by restoration professionals is vacuuming soot and other hazardous materials. Most of the time, clean-up crews use properly graded shop vacs to remove smoke and other dangerous compounds from affected areas. However, these specialists also use vacuums to clear areas of moisture and water. In extreme cases, they could extract standing water with truck-mounted vacuums. This can sometimes include powerful shop vacs known as extractors, which can draw moisture from carpets and wood.
