Drying buildings in Brisbane
Brisbane's subtropical climate keeps indoor humidity high from November through to April, and the classic Queenslander with its timber floors, VJ walls and enclosed subfloor holds moisture long after the rain has stopped. Restorers here need equipment that keeps pulling water out at 60 per cent relative humidity and above, which is exactly what low grain refrigerant technology is built for.
The January 2011 flood put more than 20,000 homes and businesses under water along the Brisbane River, and the February 2022 flood repeated it across Rocklea, Oxley, Graceville, Milton, Windsor and West End. Between the big events, summer storms and burst pipes produce a steady stream of Class 2 and Class 3 water losses across the suburbs.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you deliver a dehumidifier to Brisbane?
Orders placed before 2pm AEST leave our Currumbin Waters warehouse the same business day, and Brisbane metro deliveries usually arrive the next business day. Fleet orders can go on a pallet to your depot.
Do Brisbane restorers need LGR or desiccant units?
For Brisbane's temperature range, 15 to 35 degrees, an LGR refrigerant unit removes more water per kilowatt than a desiccant. Desiccants only win in cold rooms or when you need extremely low humidity for hardwood floors.
Can Thorair equipment run on a normal Brisbane household circuit?
Yes. Every Thorair dehumidifier, air mover and air scrubber runs from a standard 10 amp Australian outlet, and all units are SAA and ASA certified for insurer and site requirements.
