Drying Out From Winter Weather - Use A Dehumidifier

It's no secret that La Nina seasons bring plenty of rain, sleet, and snow to the Pacific Northwest. So far this winter, everyone has seen plenty of the above - with some places in British Columbia and Washington suffering from extreme flooding events. Throughout all of this wet weather, the risks of water damage are greater than ever. 

If water has found a way into your home, it is vital to clear it as soon as possible. Remove any wet items that you can, physically dry water where possible, then use a dehumidifier to take care of any water that can't be easily reached (underneath carpeting, in wood floors, wet wood, etc...)

Dehumidifiers remove humidity from the ambient air in an enclosed space. They accomplish this by forcing large quantities of air over cooled/refrigerated coils, which then collect condensation (think of your car windshield after a chilly night), then pumping that collected condensed water out of the enclosed space - thereby removing water from the ambient air. 

Dehumidifiers are extremely easy to use, all one needs to do is plug the machine in, run the drainage hose out of the home or into a drain, and let the Dehumidifier work. Our rental Dehumidifiers, the LGR 7000, can remove up to 29 gallons of liquid per day from an enclosed home - so they work quickly!

Dealing with the Delta Variant? Edge Guard May Be The Solution

The delta variant of Covid has now, for the third time, brought many hospitals, mental facilities, and other large institutions to their breaking points. Here in Central Oregon, our hospitals are crowded beyond anything seen during the first two surges of this pandemic. Many other places that fared relatively well over the past year are now struggling, as seen in Florida. 

Due to this new wave of infection, there is again a sudden and desperate need for infection control measures. To this end, the Edge Guard temporary barrier system is once again in demand. Existing hallways, rooms, and space can be quickly converted to isolated negative air/infection control centers.

Edge Guard systems are already used in hospitals, making them ideal for infection control measures. This system is the often used system among commercial contractors doing construction work in medical and laboratory buildings. Already approved for all OSHA/medical metrics, Edge Guard is designed to be quickly, easily, and safely assembled in medical settings.

Panels, locking doors, corners, HEPA ports, and all other Edge Guard accessories are compatible with each other, allowing this unit to be specially designed for any size and shape of enclosure. Panel orders can be mixed and matched, adjustable in height from 7'8" to 14' tall. Panel widths range from 6" to 52". Negative air equipment can be routed through the available ports, and the 4' wide doors can accommodate hospital beds.

Negative Air Equipment Rental - How Does it Work?

As we move on from the Coronavirus pandemic, hospital projects are once again underway. While most projects were put on hold as hospitals restricted access during the pandemic, projects put on hold are now ramping up in a hurry. As a result, Mobile Containment, Edge Guard, and other negative air equipment rentals are once again in demand. 

As such, we thought it would be a good time to cover how the rental process for this specialized equipment works. 

Start by reaching out to us with your rental needs, and the timeframe you'll need the rental equipment. At that point we'll  establish the exact equipment needed for your project and detailed quote including shipping. From there all we need is a signed rental agreement and a deposit - at which point your rental is reserved and ready to ship. This process is the same for Edge-Guard barriers and Mobile Containment Units. 

Receiving an MCU/Edge Guard rental is easy. We schedule the fright delivery to your jobsite, and the rental unit is packaged in a crate with everything needed for the rental. Once your project is done, contact us and we schedule the freight pickup - no complicated freight shipping quotes needed on your end. Any quote we send will include this return freight as well. Just be sure to keep the crate the unit is shipped in for its return.

Combat Covid and Safely Vaccinate On A Commercial Scale

Even though vaccines are being administered, the need for Covid supplies and equipment is more necessary than ever before. Record numbers of infections are still occurring, and in order to safely administer the vaccine considerations must be made. Centers will need to separate people, and thoroughly disinfect everything on-site. We offer an assortment of rentals ideally suited to the ongoing pandemic, whether that involved treating patients or administering vaccinations. 

Edge Guard barriers quickly create safe and isolated rooms

Edge-Guard panels are the leading solution to quickly create a temporary barrier in medical and other sensitive common areas. These negative air compatible barriers are commonplace in the construction industry when working in hospitals and labs. However they are now being used to create safe, isolated structures that allow for Covid testing, treatment, and now vaccination. Edge-Guard is easy to install, and can be created in any combination of size and layout with numerous panel combinations available. This system is in stock now and ready for rental, with nationwide shipping options available. 

Negative Air Machines for lab-grade differential pressure 

An integral part of the Edge-Guard system are the rental Negative Air Machines used in conjunction with them. Also knows as Air Scrubbers, these machines are used with temporary barriers to create negative suction within an enclosed space, ensuring that air from the enclosure doesn't escape. This allows patients to be treated, tested, and vaccinated without risk of airborne virus transmission. 

Electrostatic Sprayers quickly disinfect surfaces and spaces 

With millions of people in need of vaccination, disinfecting shared areas will be a vital. Use of an Electrostatic Sprayer rental makes disinfecting fast and thorough. These battery operated units apply an electric charge to the disinfectant solution before spraying it via a nozzle. This in turn allows disinfectant to wrap around any surface it touches - think of it like using a balloon to build up static electricity against your hair, which then wants to stick to that balloon. Compatible with any liquid based disinfectant (such as EPA approved Shockwave solution), electrostatic sprayers apply disinfectant faster, more thoroughly, and more evenly than any other handheld method. 

Northwest Abatement Rental offers affordable and quick solutions that solve many of the issues posed by Covid. We offer the supplies needed to physically distance people and create new rooms, as well as the equipment to quickly disinfect those spaces.

Filter Out Wildfire Smoke With 3-Stage HEPA Air Scrubbers

Air Scrubbers are a great way to bring portable HEPA filtration to any indoor area. Mobile, compatible with standard power outlets, and extremely powerful, these units can efficiently remove harmful smoke particulate matter from indoor air. 

Each Air Scrubber has an adjustable cleaning capacity of up to 750 CFM. Our Air Scrubbers feature a three stage filtration system, with two filters being used for large particulates (ash etc...) in front of the high capacity HEPA filter that filters out the irritating and unhealthy smoke particulate matter. 

HEPA filtration using these Predator 750 units have previously been used to great effect in medical clinics as a means to assist those with breathing issues related to wildfire smoke. Given the increased respiratory issues due to the Coronavirus pandemic, sensitive groups are even more at risk than before due to wildfire smoke now blanketing parts of Oregon. 

Multiple units are in stock and ready to rent today. To learn more about using Air Scrubbers to mitigate wildfire smoke, visit our website www.nwabatementrental.com

Mitigate Wildfire Smoke with Air Scrubbers & Vapor Lock Filters

With wildfire season ramping up across the West, smoke and related irritants are going to steadily become a big issue for those with respiratory ailments. Fortunately, Air Scrubbers/Negative Air Machines can remedy poor indoor air quality. 

Aided by the use of Vapor Lock filters, Air Scrubbers can not only filter out harmful smoke particulates, they can also remove much of the irritating odors and smells related to wildfire smoke. Vapor Lock filters use activated carbon to trap and hold smoke particles and odor before air even reaches the primary HEPA filter. As part of a 3 filter system, the Vapor Lock filters specialize in removing the irritating smells associated wildfire smoke. 

These rental units have been used throughout Oregon during peak fire season. Hospitals and health clinics have used these machines to create safe breathing spaces for their patients suffering from respiratory problems. 

Furthermore these Air Scrubbers and new Vapor Lock filters have applications at home too. As things such as new carpeting, paint, cabinets, and other commonplace home finishes are installed, they leave behind strong odors and gases while they cure. Air Scrubbers with the optional Vapor Lock filters have been used by homeowners to quickly remove and neutralize these odors. 

Currently, Air Scrubbers are extremely difficult to purchase due to Coronavirus related demand. Even for resellers such as ourselves, there is often an 8+ week time just to stock these units. However, Air Scrubbers are in stock and ready to rent immediately. We can ship Air Scrubbers for rent nationwide.

The Versatility of Aerosol Foggers

Aerosol Foggers are commonly used in a wide array of very different purposes. Abatement specialists use them to neutralize mold in enclosed spaces, pest control companies use them solve insect problems, and restoration builders use them with odor counteractants  against fire and flood damage.

Because Aerosol Foggers are so widely used, they are compatible with a huge range of liquid solutions. Concrobium anti-mold solution is the most commonly used, and what our rental fleet of foggers were designed to use. However, we've recently had customers use an all natural pest control solution called Cedarcide Oil. For severe odor removal after a partial structure fire, Fiberlock's RECON heavy duty odor counteractant has also been used to great effect with one of our aerosol foggers.

Furthermore, due to Covid-19 related needs, they are completely out of stock among most retailers. Since March we have experienced our own surge of Aersol Fogger rentals. A number of customers have told us that they have even tried to purchase their own foggers, but couldn't do so.
