Frequently asked questions
What equipment do I need to start a water damage restoration business?
At minimum: two LGR dehumidifiers, four to six carpet blowers, a HEPA air scrubber, a moisture meter and containment supplies. Our start-up packages cover this.
How long does drying take?
Most domestic losses dry in three to five days with the right ratio of air movers to dehumidifiers. Class 3 losses and hardwood floors take longer.
Is your equipment accepted by insurers?
Yes. SAA and ASA certification is the electrical compliance insurers look for on restoration equipment used in their claims.
Do you rent equipment?
Thorair sells equipment. Many of our customers are hire companies, so if you need to rent, contact us and we can point you to a fleet near you.
Can I order without an ABN?
Yes. Anyone can buy from Thorair, and we negotiate on larger orders for sole traders and property owners as well as companies.
