How to dry out after a flood

It seems like every single one of Brad’s clients has called him at one point, in a panic.

The tub overflowed after the faucet was left on too long. Or the water storage tank for the speciality cappuccino maker was leaking for a month at the summer home, after the lid got broken.

Or the toilet clogged and now there’s water (and worse) everywhere.

We get it. It’s happened to us too.

Well, it happened to Tiffany. And guess who had to fix it?

Yes, there may have been that time where someone (ahem) left a facecloth over a drain in the sink.

The water overflowed, all over the bathroom floor, then through the ceiling to the room below.

First thing to do, right after turning the water off?

Step 1: get rid of the water, with buckets, towels — heck, we’ve even vacuumed up water.

Step 2: dry out the floor immediately, before mold sets in. ASAP.

One of the best ways to do it is with a bunch of these powerful little fans: the B-Air VP-25 1/4 HP 900 CFM Air Mover for Water Damage Restoration Equipment Carpet Dryer Floor Blower Fan Home and Plumbing Use. Find them here.

These fans are inexpensive, lightweight (only 11 pounds) and stackable. They can also be used for things other than flood restoration.

Boost your AC for home cooling. Dry off drywall mud during construction.

Since floods, drywalling or even just air conditioning, aren’t exactly the most fun activities, it feels like B-Air is trying to B-righten our day.

They come in a variety of Skittles-style colors.
