Air Mover

« Back to Glossary Index

An air mover is a powerful fan used in water damage cleanup to blow strong streams of air across wet floors, carpets, or walls. It helps dry things faster by moving damp air away and replacing it with dry air. Air movers are often used with dehumidifiers to speed up drying and prevent mold growth.

Why it’s important:

• Speeds up drying time.
• Helps prevent mold and further damage.
• Works like a supercharged fan for water cleanup.

Example: After the basement flooded, the restoration crew set up air movers to dry the wet carpet quickly.
