Emergency drying equipment plays an integral role in the water-damage restoration process. Dehumidifiers and air movers can minimize structural damage, prevent dry rot and mold growth, and possibly save your furniture and carpet from total ruin.
Although there are certain steps of the restoration process that you should leave to the pros, such as mold remediation, you can and should use emergency drying equipment before your restoration specialist arrives. The sooner you apply commercial drying equipment, the lower the overall restoration cost will likely be.

Read on to learn three tips to keep in mind when using commercial drying equipment:
1. Place Your Air Mover and Dehumidifier in the Right Position
If you want your air mover or dehumidifier to work at peak efficiency, you’ll need to place it in the right position. Your dehumidifier should go in the most humid room first. Be sure to place it away from dust and dirt to avoid grime buildup. Your air mover should be angled low to the ground with nothing obstructing the wind trajectory.
2. Avoid Overusing Electricity
How large is the room you need to dry? Is it very wet or just humid? The answers to these questions will determine the ideal power and capacity of the dehumidifier and air mover you choose. Larger and wetter rooms require high-capacity dehumidifiers (25+ pints) while smaller rooms may only need a dehumidifier with a capacity of 10 to 16 pints. Smaller dehumidifiers tend to consume less electricity.
Another way to save on your power bill is to find an ENERGY STAR-certified dehumidifier. These units are designed to minimize power consumption. They typically consume about 15 percent less electricity than conventional dehumidifiers.
3. Don’t Skip Rooms That Weren’t Directly Affected by Water Damage
Humid air can circulate quickly throughout your home or business. When your restoration specialist arrives, ask him or her to use a moisture meter to identify all rooms that require dehumidification.
