• Air-movers: How many and what type for each job. Promotes air circulation for drying
• Dehumidifiers; desiccant or refrigerant and where to place. Works to remove moisture from the air and speed the drying process.
• Air Scrubbers: Assessing whether the environment calls for extraction of air pollutants, odors, or removal of mold spores.
• Type of generator for the job. Is there electric power at the site? Sometimes portable generators are required in order to have enough power for equipment.

Moisture
