Hepa Air Scrubber (Phoenix Guardian Hepa System)
One of the most important pieces of equipment we use, this air scrubber captures virtually all removable airborne particles, effectively eliminating 99.3% of all germs. It helps trap and filter odors and stops potentially dangerous contamination from toxic substances such as chemicals or spores. Its so powerful that it can completely clean the air in a 12 by 14-foot room is less than one minute.

Thermo-Hygrometer (Phoenix HM-34)
This handheld device is used to determine the relative humidity and temperature of a room. With these readings, we can use psychrometric calculations to determine how your building is drying. Throughout the restoration process, we re-test the moisture levels daily to ensure that everything is drying properly.

Low-Grain Dehumidifier (Phoenix 200-Max Dehumidifier)
Water extraction is measured in units called "grains" and the lower the grain after extraction, the drier the affected area is. Standard dehumidifiers are able to extract down to 55-60 GPP (grains per pound of air). Our low-grain dehumidifiers bring the GPP down to 32-35. Thus, our dehumidifiers can get an area up to 40% drier. Better drying technique prevents further problems such as mold growth or rot.

Air Movers (Gale Force)
Air movers are essential in water restoration as they direct airflow and air pressure. As the name implies, our Gale Force air movers are very powerful and help get the drying job done in the shortest time possible. Our staff has been specifically trained to place the air movers for maximum efficiency.

Extractors (Hydro Xtreme Xtraction)
Extracting water from carpeting and the underlying pad is one of the most common problems associated with water damage. Without proper equipment, they never get totally dry and often the flooring needs to be replaced entirely. However, we use state-of-the-art extractors that allow us to remove 30% more water, 50% faster than typical tools. This high-tech extraction saves time and moneyand can help preserve your carpet and pad.

Protimeter (Survey Master)
The protimeter is the best tool to use in determining the exact location and the level of moisture in an affected area. By running it over sheet vinyl, wood, paneling, drywall, ceramic tile, etc., our technicians can judge where the water is located and how wet the area is. The device can also be used as a probe into carpet and pads, and insulation. It is a great gauge to make sure that the restoration process is working as it should and that the final result is a completely dry area.
