Air Mover
Air Mover
High-velocity fans that move air across wet surfaces to speed evaporation and drying.
What it does and why it is used
Air movers are compact, powerful fans placed around a water-damaged area. By moving a large volume of air across wet floors, walls, and contents, they speed up evaporation so dehumidifiers can remove the moisture from the air. They are one of the most common pieces of equipment you will see on a drying project.
Typical restoration applications
- Drying floors, walls, and contents after water damage
- Directing airflow into wet cavities and hard-to-reach areas
What to expect on site
Several units may be placed around the affected area and positioned for the best airflow.
Typical operating times
Run continuously, usually for 3 to 5 days, until drying readings confirm the materials are dry.
Noise
Noticeable, steady fan noise.
Safety
Safe to have running while you remain in the home.
Can it be turned off?
Please leave them running - turning them off, even overnight, slows drying and can extend the project.
Common questions
More water damage equipment
Dehumidifier
Dehumidifier (LGR)
Removes moisture from the air so evaporated water is captured rather than re-absorbed by materials.
Extraction Equipment
Extraction Equipment
Removes standing water and water trapped in carpet, pad, and flooring before drying begins.
Moisture Monitoring
Moisture Monitoring Equipment
Moisture meters and sensors used to measure how wet materials are and to confirm when they are dry.
