Air Filtration, Drying, and Decontamination for Restoration Professionals

Restoration equipment from Grimeworks supports the full scope of water damage restoration, mold remediation, and construction cleanup work — from HEPA air scrubbers that control airborne contamination, to high-velocity air movers and industrial dehumidifiers that dry a space fast, to the decontamination and water filtration systems that round out a compliant restoration workflow. Our lineup runs primarily on Aerospace America's professional restoration platform and Ebac Industrial Products' dehumidification and climate control systems, with additional air mover options from Mercury.

How Restoration Equipment Fits Together

Restoration and remediation work typically calls for equipment working in combination rather than a single machine handling the whole job:

Air Filtration Systems control airborne dust, mold spores, and contaminants during active work, whether recirculating filtered air (air scrubber mode) or exhausting it to create negative pressure containment (negative air machine mode).

Air Movers accelerate drying once moisture is present, using high-velocity airflow to speed up evaporation on carpets, floors, and structural surfaces after water damage or cleaning.

Dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air itself, working alongside air movers to actually remove the water that evaporation releases rather than letting it resettle in the space — the two are true partners, not substitutes for one another.

Decontamination Showers provide a controlled decon station for crew members exiting a containment area, an important step in abatement and remediation protocols where cross-contamination is a compliance concern.

Water Filtration Systems support jobs where water used or recovered on-site needs filtration before reuse or disposal.

Most professional restoration jobs draw on more than one of these categories at once — an air scrubber running containment while air movers and dehumidifiers dry the space together, for instance, with a decon shower staged at the containment exit.

Shop by Category

Air Filtration Systems — HEPA air scrubbers and negative air machines spanning roughly 500 to 2,000 CFM, including a pneumatic model built for hazardous, explosive-vapor environments.

Air Movers — High-velocity drying equipment for carpets, hard floors, and structural surfaces, from compact single-room units to full-size stackable commercial models.

Dehumidifiers — Industrial and desiccant dehumidification systems for facilities, warehouses, and restoration projects, including units rated for operation in temperatures as low as -4°F.

Decontamination Showers — Portable decon shower systems for crew exiting containment areas during abatement and remediation work.

Water Filtration Systems — Filtration equipment for treating water used or recovered during restoration jobs.

Choosing the Right Restoration Equipment

Match Equipment to the Job Phase — Contamination control (air filtration) and drying (air movers and dehumidifiers) typically happen together or in sequence, not as substitutes for one another; most jobs need more than one category working at once.

Pair Air Movers with Real Dehumidification — Moving air alone doesn't remove moisture from a space; an air mover accelerates evaporation, but a dehumidifier is what actually pulls that moisture out of the air so it doesn't resettle.

Confirm Containment Requirements — Regulated work like mold remediation or asbestos abatement often has specific requirements around negative pressure, ACH, and decontamination procedures — make sure your equipment selection actually meets the protocol you're working under, not just the general job type.

Consider Desiccant Dehumidification for Cold Conditions — Standard refrigerant dehumidifiers lose effectiveness in cold environments; desiccant systems remain effective even in temperatures as low as -4°F, which matters for restoration work in unheated spaces or winter conditions.

Plan for Consumables — Air scrubbers rely on pre-filters, HEPA filters, and in some cases carbon filters that need regular replacement; budgeting for consumables up front avoids downtime mid-job.

Right-Size for Your Typical Job — A restoration contractor running frequent small jobs may be better served by more compact, portable equipment across categories, while larger-scale operations benefit from higher-capacity units that cover more ground per unit.

Replacement Parts & Consumables

We also carry genuine OEM replacement parts and accessories for Aerospace America and Ebac equipment — pre-filters, HEPA and carbon filter stages, shower system components, and digital humidistats and control panels — so you can keep existing equipment running at full performance without waiting on a full unit replacement.

Getting the Most from Your Restoration Equipment

Size Air Filtration to Your Containment's Cubic Footage — Not just square footage; ceiling height changes the calculation significantly.

Pair Air Movers with Adequate Dehumidification — Moving air alone doesn't remove moisture from a space; it needs a dehumidifier or adequate ventilation to actually remove it.

Match Dehumidifier Technology to Temperature — Use desiccant dehumidification rather than standard refrigerant units when working in cold or unheated environments.

Replace Pre-Filters Before the Primary Filter Clogs — Extends the life of your more expensive HEPA and carbon filter stages.

Keep Decon Protocols Consistent — A decon shower is only as effective as the procedure crews actually follow when using it.
