Ensuring the safety of your home or business during restoration is essential, not only for the property but also for the health of everyone involved. At SERVPRO, we specialize in restoring homes and businesses after damage, using the proper procedures and equipment to protect both your space and our team. One key aspect of this process is our technicians' use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This equipment plays a crucial role in maintaining safety during cleanup, as well as protecting against potential hazards such as contaminants, mold, and other dangers.
What Is PPE, and Why Is It Important?
Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to clothing and accessories designed to protect workers from health and safety risks. During cleanup and restoration, our technicians wear a variety of PPE to ensure their safety and to prevent contamination from mold, bacteria, and other hazards. PPE is crucial because it helps prevent direct contact with harmful substances, reducing the risk of injury, infection, or long-term health problems.
Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of PPE used by our technicians during restoration services:
Gloves – Water damage often involves exposure to contaminated water, which can carry bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. Wearing gloves is essential to prevent contact with these potentially harmful materials.
Boots – Waterproof boots protect technicians from standing water and wet surfaces while also reducing the risk of slipping. They also help keep feet dry and shield against potential contaminants in the water.
Masks & Respirators – During restoration, technicians may be exposed to airborne particles like mold spores, dust, or fumes from chemicals. Wearing masks or respirators ensures proper protection for the respiratory system and helps prevent inhaling harmful substances.
Goggles – Goggles protect the eyes from debris, splashes, and any chemicals used during the cleaning process. Eye protection is especially important in areas with standing water or contaminated materials.
Tyvek Suits – These full-body suits are worn to prevent direct contact with contaminants in the water, such as sewage, mold, or chemicals. They are particularly useful during situations where technicians may encounter extreme levels of contamination.
The Role of PPE in Protecting Your Home and Our Technicians
At SERVPRO, the safety of both our clients and our team is a top priority. Our technicians wear the necessary PPE to protect themselves from potential hazards, ensuring that the restoration process is completed safely. By wearing proper PPE, they minimize the risk of spreading contaminants and help keep the air and environment in your home or business free from harmful particles.

SERVPRO Air Movers
When disaster strikes—whether it's a flood, fire, or water leak—restoring your property to its preloss condition quickly is essential. One of the key tools SERVPRO uses to speed up the drying process and prevent further damage is the air mover. But what exactly is an air mover, and why is it so important in the restoration process? Let’s take a closer look.
Air movers are powerful devices that direct a high volume of air to accelerate the evaporation of moisture in affected areas. They are similar to industrial fans, but they are much more effective in creating the right air circulation needed for the drying process.
Typically used in water damage restoration, air movers are essential when moisture becomes trapped in hard-to-reach areas like floors, walls, and ceilings. They help reduce the risk of mold growth and secondary damage by drying out affected areas quickly and efficiently.
Air movers serve several important purposes in water damage restoration and beyond:
Quick Drying: By blowing air across wet surfaces, air movers help to increase the rate at which water evaporates. This accelerates the drying process, which is crucial to preventing mold and other long-term damage.
Prevent Mold Growth: Mold begins to grow within 24-48 hours of water exposure. Using air movers in combination with dehumidifiers helps reduce moisture in the air and surfaces, creating an environment where mold cannot thrive.
Drying Hard-to-Reach Areas: Air movers are specifically designed to direct air into hidden spaces, such as behind walls, under flooring, or in attics. This ensures no moisture is left behind to cause further damage or mold issues.
Improving Indoor Air Quality: Moisture in the air can lead to musty odors, an unhealthy environment, and poor air quality. By efficiently drying the area, air movers help to remove excess moisture and improve indoor air quality.
At SERVPRO, we utilize a range of advanced equipment to tackle water damage and restore your property quickly. Air movers are integral to this process, and here's how we use them:
Assessment: First, our team evaluates the extent of water damage and determines the most effective restoration plan. We carefully inspect affected areas, considering the type of flooring, walls, and the volume of water damage.
Strategic Placement: We place air movers strategically around the property to ensure maximum airflow. The air movers are positioned to direct air across wet surfaces and into areas that are harder to reach, ensuring thorough drying.
Combined with Dehumidifiers: Air movers work in tandem with dehumidifiers to create the perfect drying conditions. While the air movers circulate air, the dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air, speeding up the drying process.
Ongoing Monitoring: We monitor the drying progress daily to ensure that the area is drying efficiently and effectively. Our team makes adjustments to the air mover placement as necessary to address areas that may require more attention.
Final Inspection: Once the area is completely dry, we conduct a final inspection to ensure no moisture remains, and that your property is safe from further damage like mold growth.
SERVPRO’s team is equipped with state-of-the-art air movers and other specialized restoration equipment to tackle water damage quickly and efficiently. Our experienced technicians are trained in the latest restoration techniques, ensuring your property is restored to its preloss condition with minimal disruption to your daily life or business operations.
If your property has been affected by water damage, don’t wait—contact SERVPRO today! We’re available 24/7 to respond to emergencies, and we’ll use air movers and other advanced tools to get your property back to normal.
