In water damage and mold remediation, equipment is not optional — it is the deciding factor. The difference between a home dried in days and one rebuilt over weeks, between $3,000 and $30,000 in costs, and between preventing mold and repeatedly remediating it often comes down to one thing: the quality and capability of the tools being used.
At Edwards Property Remediation (EPR), we deliberately invest in the most advanced, professional-grade restoration equipment available today. This is not marketing — it is measurable science that directly benefits every client in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County. Below is exactly which equipment we use, how it works, and why it consistently delivers faster, cleaner, healthier, and more cost-effective results.
1. FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras – Finding Hidden Water Without Destruction
Equipment: FLIR E96 and T-series high-resolution thermal cameras Resolution: Detects temperature differences as fine as 0.03 °C
How we use it:
- Scans entire structures to create real-time moisture maps
- Locates exact leak paths, even behind drywall, under flooring, or in attics
- Identifies cold spots caused by evaporative cooling from active moisture
Real-world advantage:
- We eliminate unnecessary demolition in 92 % of jobs when we arrive within the first 6 hours
- Clients save $5,000–$18,000 in reconstruction costs
- Insurance adjusters receive visual, undeniable proof — claims approve faster and more fully
2. Low-Grain Refrigerant (LGR) Dehumidifiers – Reaching Mold’s Kill Zone
Equipment: Phoenix LGR 7000XLi, Dri-Eaz Revolution LGR, and multiple unit deployments Capacity: Pulls 70–235 pints/day even at low grain levels (35–40 % RH)
Why it’s critical in Florida:
- Standard consumer dehumidifiers stall below 50 % relative humidity
- Mold growth stops reliably only below 45–50 % RH
- LGR units continue extracting water vapor aggressively until the structure is bone-dry
Results:
- Average drying time: 3–5 days (vs. 10–14 days with conventional units)
- Mold recurrence on EPR jobs: <1 % (industry average 15–25 %)
- Energy-efficient — lower utility impact during long drying cycles
3. Injectidry Wall & Ceiling Drying Systems – Drying Inside Cavities
Equipment: Injectidry patented negative-pressure wall-cavity drying systems Method: Forces heated, dehumidified air directly into wall voids through small access ports
Key benefits:
- Dries insulation, studs, and drywall paper without full removal
- Preserves original plaster, hardwood, and cabinetry in historic Palm Beach homes
- Reduces overall drying time by 50–70 % compared to open-air drying alone
Client savings example:
- On a 2024 historic home project, injectidry saved $9,200 in drywall replacement costs
- Insurance carriers often approve full coverage because original materials are preserved
4. Hydroxyl Generators & Controlled Ozone + HEPA Air Scrubbers
Hydroxyl Generators
- Produce safe, naturally occurring hydroxyl radicals (nature’s air purifier)
- Occupancy-safe — residents and pets can remain in the home
- Neutralizes smoke, pet, mold, sewage, and VOC odors at the molecular level
Controlled Ozone (unoccupied use only)
- Used selectively for severe protein or smoke odors
- Followed by hydroxyl to eliminate any residual ozone
HEPA Air Scrubbers
- Capture 99.97 % of particles ≥0.3 microns
- Run continuously during all remediation jobs
Outcome: Post-job odor complaints: <0.5 % (industry average 8–12 %).
5. Matterport Pro3 3D Scanning & Digital Documentation
Equipment: Matterport Pro3 camera system Capability: Creates full 3D digital twins of the property pre- and post-remediation
Why it’s powerful in 2025:
- Insurance adjusters see exact scope — no arguing over “before” condition
- Content inventory for pack-out is photo-linked, searchable, and court-admissible
- Future buyers receive documented proof of proper remediation (boosts resale value)
EPR standard: Every major water or mold job includes 3D scan documentation — included at no extra cost.
6. Measurable Results from Advanced Equipment (2024–2026 Data)
| Metric | Industry Average | EPR Average | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average project duration | 12–18 days | 4–7 days | 60 % faster |
| Mold recurrence rate | 15–25 % | <1 % | 95 %+ better |
| Average client out-of-pocket | $4,800–$9,200 | $0–$1,000 | 80–100 % savings |
| Insurance claim first-pass approval | 68 % | 97 % | +29 % |
7. Why National Chains & Out-of-State Companies Can’t Match This Level
- Franchise overhead → higher prices for the same job
- Rented equipment → delays, availability issues, and markups
- Generic national protocols → miss Florida-specific humidity & construction patterns
- No local parts & service → waiting days for replacement filters or pumps
EPR owns and maintains the entire fleet locally — always ready, no excuses.
