Equipment Is Key For A Water Damage Cleanup Company

March 1, 2024

Proper equipment is crucial for effective water damage cleanup companies to be successful. Different techniques are required based on the type of water damage your home has sustained (e.g., burst pipes vs. overflowing toilets).  Excess moisture in your Roseburg home poses risks of damage and health hazards, including mold growth. Quick drying is essential for easier water damage repair and for preventing any future problems. Regardless of the type of water damage, the ultimate goal of a water damage cleanup company is to thoroughly remove all water and moisture as soon as possible, and this is achieved by utilizing the best equipment in the industry. Let’s take a closer look at some of the equipment you can expect a water damage cleanup company to bring into your home to resolve the problem as quickly and thoroughly as possible.


High-Speed Structural Drying Systems

These advanced system are used to accelerate drying time, reducing the risk of mold. Air movers are part of this system, which are more efficient than oscillating fans in drying water, and provide adequate airflow which significantly decreases drying time, initiating the restoration process promptly.

Thermal Imaging and Infrared Cameras

By using thermal imaging and infrared cameras, water damage experts are able to identify moisture in hidden areas (behind walls, ceilings, and under floors). These tools pinpoint the water source, traces the water path, and documents the drying process. This is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the extent of the water damage. Infrared cameras complement thermal imaging by detecting temperature variations, making them useful in locating water intrusion points and assessing the extent of the damage.

Dehumidifiers

Dehumidifiers are used to accelerate evaporation by pulling excess moisture from the air. This is important because excess moisture in the air following water damage can lead to mold growth. Dehumidifiers can draw in air at high rates, speeding up room drying.

Moisture Meters and Hygrometers

These tools are used to measure the moisture content in various structural materials like wood, drywall, and even concrete. Moisture meters help by identifying hidden pockets of moisture that are not visible to the naked eye. Hygrometers measure humidity levels in the air and help when determining the effectiveness of dehumidifiers and the progress of the drying process.

Submersible pumps

These heavy duty pumps are used for significant water damage, such as flooded basements

Submersible pumps efficiently remove large volumes of water quickly, which is crucial in reducing the amount of damage.

Air Scrubbers

Air scrubbers are used to purify the air. This is done by removing contaminants like mold spores and particles resulting from water damage. This process enhances air quality during the water damage cleanup process

Disinfectant and Antimicrobial Agents

Utilizing the right cleaners is essential to sanitize affected areas and prevent microbial growth.

This is essential for minimizing health risks associated with water damage.


It is important to keep in mind that the specific equipment employed by a water damage cleanup company can vary depending on the severity and nature of the water damage situation. Water damage cleanup companies will assess the situation and choose the most appropriate tools and equipment to ensure a comprehensive and effective water damage restoration for your home.
