How Do I Use Rented Equipment?

All rental equipment comes with operation instructions and safety information.

HEPA Air Scrubber Operation:

6. Empty water collection tray if equipped

Dehumidifier Operation:
1. Place in center of affected area
2. Ensure adequate clearance around unit
3. Connect drain hose to sink or floor drain (if available)
4. Set to "continuous" or specific humidity level
5. Empty collection bucket regularly if not drained
6. Run until moisture levels return to normal (12-15%)

Air Mover Operation:
1. Position to direct airflow across wet surfaces
2. Angle toward walls for structural drying
3. Lay flat for carpet and floor drying
4. Run continuously (do not cycle on/off)
5. Use multiple units for larger areas
6. Combine with dehumidifier for optimal drying

Safety Precautions:
