Water removal technology

When your home or business has suffered from a flooding disaster then you are going to have to take immediate action, if the task is too much for you to handle by yourself then you will need to employ the services of a professional clean-up company. I had always wondered just what kind of technology these companies actually used, but then one day I had the misfortune to come home to discover that my home had been flooded and I had to call someone in to deal with it.

Flood cleanup involves a whole host of high-tech appliances in order to restore your home or business to its former glory.

Dehumidifiers are one of the most important and well used pieces of apparatus used by professional flood cleanup companies today. Dehumidifiers work by removing the excess moisture from the air and are usually used when the flood waters have been pumped out.

Air movers are typically used in conjunction with dehumidifiers to remove excess air from the atmosphere and are used with large air blowers and dryers. These air movers promote air circulation which helps to evaporate the liquids contained within carpeting, upholstery and dry wall and they may also use injectors that can get in behind walls and ceilings to help aid the drying process.

There is one crucial piece of equipment that is hidden out of sight and most people are not aware of its existence and these are H.E.P.A filters. These filters help to filter out bacteria and other airborne contaminants that have entered the atmosphere during the water contamination and restore the air to the quality that it was before the flooding event took place.

These are just some of the pieces of equipment that are used today by flood cleanup companies across the country to help remove water from your home.
