We couldn’t do the work needed to protect Norman area homes from the destructiveness of invasive water without the correct equipment. Our choices go well beyond the super-absorbent mop and oversized bucket used for minor spills. Each type of equipment has a variety of subtypes, allowing us to respond according to the specific nature of each aspect of any cleanup job we do. Cleanup also includes disinfecting affected areas.
This list of cleanup equipment makes it possible to provide BISON’s customers with thorough results, protecting residential property from secondary water damage.

Moisture Detection Tools
Water soaks into many materials but leaves the surface feeling dry because moisture moves inside the material below the surface. We still need to find the moisture, so we use infrared cameras that reveal temperature variations. The screen will show different and distinct colors for damp materials. When we obtain a positive reading, we switch to a moisture meter to get a more precise percentage of the moisture content. Knowing this percentage helps us more accurately determine the timeline for mitigation and restoration. These tools are used throughout a water cleanup job, giving us real-time information regarding the effectiveness of our efforts.
Air Movers
Water extraction leaves surfaces damp, not dry, so we use high-powered air movers to accelerate the rate at which moisture evaporates. When the air is cool, we often add heat through a standalone heating unit or your residence’s furnace. We aim the air current so that the effect is at its most potent. Specific models can be used with plastic sheeting and special tubing to build a functional negative air pressure system.
Commercial Dehumidifiers
We use dehumidifiers and desiccant machines to get the indoor environment drier, which is particularly useful for ongoing drips that were either widespread or defy detection or repairs.
Specialty Drying Systems
Sometimes, the other machinery does not dry out some aspects of a house as quickly as we need, so we use special equipment. Drying mats we seal to the floor work well for multi-layer hard flooring types, like wood or tile. Airflow and extraction are contained in one machine, making it very efficient in cleaning up water and preventing damage.
