Excess water or damaged areas can often occur during firefighting effots.. We commonly use the following pieces of equipment to fully dry your property: Revolution LGR dehumidifier, VELO airmover, Cavity dryer, HEPA scrubber, Hepa 500, Titan 1000 hydroxyl Mach, and E5 thermal cameras and moisture meters( to detect moisture)
