Dehumidifiers For Flood Damage

Dehumidifiers for Floods

What to do after a flood?

All is not lost. Acting fast is critical to preserving the integrity of your home and using the right dehumidifier can help quickly absorb moisture and restore your walls and surfaces to health and prevent further damage. However, there are steps you should take first..

1) Identify and clear potential hazards. Safety is paramount.
2) Remove contents and extract as much surface water as possible initially via water pumps.
3) Check your carpet underlay, if it is soaked, you may need to throw it away. A dehumidifier will not dry out your underlay but help with a lightly soaked carpet. Wood floor and tiles will be dried quickly by a powerful dehumidifier.
4) Disinfect your walls. Anti-mould solutions, Pine Oil or Bleach works well. This will help prevent the growth of mould.
5) The application of large fans with dehumidifier use will help pull the moisture out of walls and carpets faster.
6) Do not raise the temperature without extracting the water as this will increase mould spread. You can use heaters but only in conjunction with powerful dehumidifiers.
