Flood Damage Cleanup Made Easy

Flood damage cleanup is no cakewalk. Most home owners would rather leave this arduous task to the pros than do it themselves. However, with the right equipment, flood damage cleanup doesn’t have to be a slow, painful process.

Powerful dehumidifiers

During flood damage cleanup, humidity inside the house must be controlled. Moisture levels must be maintained at about 50% relative humidity or lower to prevent molds and mildew.

The Force 9 Air Mover from Jon-Don of Illinois is perfect where supply of electricity is limited. It runs on low amperage while delivering high volume CFM from its large fan blade and superior aerodynamic grill.

Best for drying huge areas, the Force 9 has a daisy-chain panel that lets you connect up to six units to a single outlet, with each unit covering up to 120 feet of floor area.

Individual power LED indicators and hour meters make it easy to see which air movers are working. And its portable design and low-noise operation reduces worker fatigue during flood damage cleanup.

Effective moisture meters

Identifying the extent of moisture is often the most difficult task when doing flood damage cleanup. The Tramex Non-Destructive Moisture Encounter Plus can make your job much easier.

The Moisture Encounter PLUS measures water content in wood, plaster, drywall, block, brick, roofing and most materials found in homes and buildings using three ranges of sensitivity.

The New Moisture Encounter PLUS makes moisture evaluation faster and more accurate with its deep signal penetration, wide range of readings, large LCD screens, and freeze reading functions.

Strong disinfecting agents

Mold and mildew growth is a ubiquitous problem during flood damage cleanup. Make sure you use an industry-grade disinfectant like the Microban Disinfectant Spray Plus. It’s nearly 10 times stronger than other products on the market, yet safe enough to use without gloves, respirators or safety goggles.

The Microban Disinfectant Spray Plus is an EPA-registered anti-microbial that kills bacteria, fungi, mold, and mildew. Use it to wipe off dirt from hard and soft surfaces or as an aerosol for air ducts and ventilation systems.

Pump out truckloads of water

Tired of draining out water in buckets? Save time and money with the KleenRite Mega 3 Flood Pumper. This powerful machine enables you to extract flood water at the rate of 20 gallons per minute.

Industry-grade blowers

Flood damage cleanup is not complete without the use of heavy-duty blowers. The Injectidry HP60i Wall and Ceiling Package is a regenerative blower specifically created for walls and ceilings, and areas with hidden moisture such as PVA paint and vinyl wallpaper coverings, double-sheeted fire walls, party walls, sound barriers, insulation, walls behind cabinets, and fixtures and floors.

Flood damage cleanup equipment is expensive and may not be readily available. For cleanup jobs larger than 10 square feet, it is still best to hire professional help. Beware of people who drive through neighborhoods offering cleanup or repair assistance. Opportunists thrive during disasters. Ask your insurance adjuster to help you find reputable and qualified flood damage cleanup contractors.
