MOISTURE DETECTION METERS
We employ the use of several types of moisture meters and detectors to properly determine the location and concentration of moisture in the air and within structural building components. The smaller unit tests for moisture through walls (including vapor barrier) floor & ceiling surfaces. Not only does it test for moisture, but without leaving a mark on any surface.

AIR MOVERS
Specially designed air moving equipment is used to circulate air in order to evaporate water from wet surfaces. These multi-speed fans create rapid air movement which is key to the drying process.

LGR DEHUMIDIFIERS
In the hands of a skilled technician, these units can remove up to 150 pints of water in 24 hours from a saturated area. The dehumidifier captures the evaporated moisture in the air & condenses it on cooling coils to be pumped away. When supported by air movers, the dehumidifier greatly reduces the drying time, the risk of damage to hygroscopic contents and structural materials, and the chances of microbial growth.

DESSICANT DEHUMIDIFIERS
A specialized type of dehumidifier, using silica gel to help remove moisture, this unit also blows dry air back into areas to be dried. We primarily use the dessicant to aid in removing tricky pockets of moisture which are hidden or absorbed by structural materials (ie. beneath hardwood flooring). Under proper conditions this piece of equipment can speed the drying process immensely.

AIR INJECTORS
Directs warm, dried air into wall cavities & enclosed areas like ceilings, walk out attics and joist spaces. Effectively eliminates hidden pockets of moisture in hard-to-reach areas.

FLOOD VAN
State of the art equipment adorns our emergency flood vehicle. The flood technicians vehicle is designed for a quick response, day or night with all necessary equipment. No time wasted here! Time wasted in water extraction can lead to excessive cost of repair. We get the water out fast with a PTO driven extractor/carpet cleaning plant mounted in the cargo area of a 3/4 van. This machine can remove hundreds of gallons of water in minutes or clean the most delicate upholstery in experienced hands.
