Technical Sizing: How Much Gear Do You Need?

Using IICRC S500 mathematical formulas, we can determine your equipment requirements based on the “Class” of water damage.

The Air Mover Rule: For professional results, install one air mover for every $4.5$ m2 to $6.5$ m2 of wet floor area.

The Science: Psychrometry and “Dry Standards”

Drying is not just about moving air; it is about managing Vapor Pressure.

1. Evaporation: High-velocity fans disrupt the boundary layer of saturated air on the surface of the wet material.

2. Dehumidification: The 90L LGR unit lowers the Relative Humidity (RH) of the room to below $40\%$. This creates a “vapor pressure deficit,” pulling moisture out of dense materials like timber framing.

3. Verification: We include a free moisture meter with all flood packages so you can track progress. For Auckland timber framing, we aim to reduce moisture content from $28\%$ to below $18\%$ to satisfy Auckland Council pre-line inspections.

Auckland Insurance Documentation Checklist

If you are claiming through IAG, Vero, Tower, or AA Insurance, documentation is critical.

• Source Photo: Document the source (Category 1: Clean, Category 2: Grey, or Category 3: Black/Sewage).

• The “Dry Standard”: Use your moisture meter on an unaffected part of the house. This provides the “Dry Standard” the insurance adjuster will look for.

• Daily Log: Record moisture readings every 24 hours. Most carpets dry within $2-3$ days, but structural materials can take $5+$ days.   

• GST Invoices: 7Hire provides full GST-compliant invoices and can assist with technical data for your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does it take to dry wet carpet? Typically $2$ to $5$ days. If it isn’t dry within $48$ hours, the risk of mold colonization increases significantly in Auckland’s humid climate.

Q: Is LGR better than a standard dehumidifier? Yes. For flood restoration, LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) is required. Standard units lose efficiency at $50\%$ RH, while LGR continues to pull moisture down to $30\%$ RH, which is necessary for structural drying.

Q: Can I leave the equipment running overnight? Yes. Our industrial units feature thermal protection and automatic restart functions in case of power surges.

Q: Do you deliver to the North Shore and West Auckland? Yes, we provide Auckland-wide delivery 7 days a week, including all suburbs from Henderson and Titirangi to Albany and Takapuna.
