Preparing For Smoke and Water Damage In Your Home

 

smoke and water damage

 

Have you encountered smoke and water damage in your home?  If you have encountered either, you know the stress and work that it takes to get everything cleaned up, right?  Unfortunately, I have experienced both.  My basement flooding because the Sump Pump malfunctioned and my entire house receiving smoke damage because my son-in-law left a pan on the stove and fall asleep.

First, the smoke damage. Thank goodness it was just smoke and not a fire.  It only took us a short period of time to clear the house of smoke, but the smell lingered.  So, I eventually called in a professional to rid my house of smoke and to clean the carpet, drapes and furniture.

I wish I had known about Aer Industries and their products. They serve the industry professionals with a wide range of commercial equipment.  This includes restoring water damaged indoor environments to safe and dry conditions. Furthermore, they are also master distributors of B-Ari®, BluDri®, Soleaire® and Abatement® products.  They offer a wide range of air movers, dehumidifiers and scrubbers for smoke removal, drying carpet and more.  In addition, they sell equipment that the average home owner would appreciate having on hand just in case of an emergency.

I certainly could have used an Air Scrubber to remove smoke from my house.  Professionals use air scrubbers.   Additionally, there’s a dry and a wet scrubber that is used according to the situation. Wet Scrubbers are used for smoke and/or dust and Dry scrubbers are used to remove odors and acidic gases in the air. This would be a great Christmas or birthday gift for the man of the house or a family member.

Basement flooding can be an issue if you live in a flood prone area; however, flooding can happen even if you don’t live in a flood zone.  Many home owners make the mistake of thinking that they won’t experience flooding because they don’t live in a flood zone. There are times when sump pumps malfunction or an area receives excessive rainfall.

Dehumidifiers can come in handy in helping to dry carpet or a flooded area in your home.  Pipes can burst in kitchens and baths causing flooding.  So, basements are not the only areas in the home to flood.  I was checking out the Super Monsoon Dehumidifier.  It states when maximum air ventilation is needed look no further. The prices are reasonable.  Be sure to check out the colors being offered for the equipment too.  Who said industrial work can’t be pretty.  Watching a colorful machine working to restore your home to its original beauty is a great way to bring a little happiness into your life. They also have a professional series if you or your husband make a living doing cleanup as well as financial assistance.  To put the icing on the cake, shipment is free in the Continental USA.

Moisture in your home can be harmful, so we need to take flooding issues seriously. High moisture content causes the musty odor in basements or other parts of buildings. Excess moisture encourages the growth of mold and mildew, which in turn causes a musty smell too. Mold is not healthy and can be costly to get rid of.

Take my word for it, dehumidifiers, air movers and scrubbers can come in handy during an emergency.  Being unprepared for a disaster can be stressful, frightening, depressing and expensive.  Head over to Aer Industries and check out how they can assist you with your smoke and water damage tools.
