As we approach the winter months one thing that might not be on your mind is flooding. In fact, many commercial and residential properties experience flooding for a variety of reasons during the winter. Coldwater in the pipes can lead to burst pipes or leaks. Snow build-up can cause structural damage to your property as well as cause leaking when snow begins to melt. For this reason, it is important for commercial and residential properties to invest in equipment that can help prevent water damage to their property. While there are many great companies that provide emergency water damage cleaning services, they will all tell you that the most important factor in damage clean=up is time. The faster you can get air movers in place, the better.

How Do Air Movers Work

The first thing to understand about water damage is that the longer water sits on your floors or near your walls, the more damage is done. Carpets, wood floors, and other materials can quickly get damaged by excess water leading to rot, mold/mildew, and costly repairs/replacement services. An air mover works by increasing the rate at which moisture evaporation takes place. By moving the moisture back into the air off of your floors and carpets, air movers can quickly dry an area. When water damage starts your goal should be to eliminate the source of the flooding and quickly dry the area.
