Drying while you still use the space

Drying equipment is loud, takes floor space and often runs without a break until the materials are dry. That is harder when people sleep, cook, work or serve customers there.

Decide before work starts what has to stay usable. Then equipment and schedule can be planned around it.

• Which rooms you must keep using
• Where equipment can sit without blocking an exit or a walking path
• Where children, pets and anyone with medical equipment will be
• Which areas of a business can be closed off for now

Occupied homes

Ask which rooms and materials need assessment, what might be moved and where equipment would go. Tell the team about access needs before work begins.

Whether you can stay requires assessment of actual conditions, including contamination, electrical and structural hazards. Follow official reentry instructions and qualified professional guidance; keeping a sleeping area dry is not clearance to occupy a damaged home.

Rentals: owner, tenant and access

Notify the landlord or property manager promptly and keep a record of the damage and your messages. Give them a way to reach you and explain which areas appear affected.

Before an assessment, clarify who can authorize the work, how the technician will enter and whether other tenants or shared areas need attention. Agree on a contact for progress updates and access during drying.

Businesses that need to keep working

Tell us your operating hours, which areas hold stock or records, and whether customers pass through the affected space. Discuss access and any proposed work separation after the hazards have been assessed.
