Blower/Air Movers
The number one thing that increases the rate of evaporation from wet materials is airflow on wet materials, the more rapid the better. Air Movers or blowers are designed to create laminar airflow and increase evaporation for water damage restoration. It's difficult to imagine a water damage situation where we could use too many air movers!
Of course, we also need to be able to handle the humidity created from this rapid rate of evaporation with a dehumidification system. Heat always helps, but there are practical considerations.

Dehumidifiers
LGR dehumidifier will continue to remove water from the air and surrounding materials. A desiccant dehumidifier uses a silica gel rotor to remove moisture from the air. As wet air passes through the rotor, the silica gel adsorbs moisture. A desiccant returns dry air to the affected area and exhausts wet air to the outside of the structure. Since a desiccant does not depend on air temperature to dehumidify, it's an excellent choice for difficult drying situations.

High-pressure inter-air drying systems
High-pressure inter-air drying systems were introduced to our industry a few years ago and are very popular. They use high-pressure blowers to either push air into a wall cavity or pull air out of a wall cavity. This creates a positive or negative air pressure inside the wall cavity. The energy from pressure generates air movement. However, it is important to remember: Pressure doesn't dry, air movement dries. It's perfect for hard-to-reach areas like behind cabinets, tubs, under stairwells, etc.

Floor Drying Resuce Mat System
Dry out water-damaged hardwoods from above! The Rescue Mat System uses the power of a high-pressure blower like the DriForce to vacuum water vapor right through the surface of the floor.
