Woodard Stays On The Cutting Edge With New Water Restoration Equipment

Share on Twitter

As Woodard’s water restoration operations manager, I am extremely excited about two new pieces of equipment we recently purchased, to provide legendary service in our water restoration efforts.

The Airsled and the Kett saw are some of the most innovative pieces of equipment which  Woodard will now be bringing to the site of water restoration jobs.

The Airsled helps the Woodard crews lift and move heavy items, like furniture or appliances, with little effort. The Airsled basically works as an upside-down air-hockey table, shooting high-pressure air on the floor, creating a cushion of air that helps “levitate” the item. This helps prevent scratching floors, or causing other possible damage that could come from moving heavy equipment at water restoration jobs.

The Kett saw is a type of saw that penetrates walls without creating debris, thanks to a powerful attached vacuum that captures airborne dust as the machine cuts drywall.  Not only that, but the Kett saw can also be programmed to a particular depth, eliminating the chance of a worker accidentally cutting into an electrical line or pipe.

Through constantly researching and testing innovative, new water restoration equipment,  Woodard will continue to remain true our core value of “continuous improvement.”
