Quick Guide to Safe Equipment Use
Equipment used during the drying process can pose hazards – from electrical risks to physical injuries. Ensuring that facilities teams are aware of the risks and well-trained in equipment safety practices will help prevent accidents and mitigate potential liability issues. Use this checklist to review equipment safety best practices for teams during remediation work.
Unlocking the Power of Humidity, Airflow, and Temperature
Understanding how humidity, airflow, and temperature (HAT) work together helps facilities teams create optimal conditions for faster drying and less downtime after water damage. These three elements significantly affect how quickly wet materials dry. By effectively managing HAT, facilities can take control of the drying process and speed recovery.

Guide to Floodwater Safety: When Is It Okay to Handle In-House?
Conducting a thorough assessment of the source of floodwater is crucial before responding. Facilities teams must quickly assess whether the water is “clean” to know if cleanup by internal teams is feasible or if professional restoration or remediation intervention is necessary.

What’s Involved in a Ready 2 Respond Assessment?
By participating in a Ready 2 Respond™ (R2R) assessment, facilities gain access to a customized solution that will empower facilities teams to better manage water damage events. Adopting a standardized response process helps limit damage, reduces risk, cuts costs, and minimizes downtime.
