When disaster strikes, the right restoration equipment can mean the difference between costly downtime and a quick return to business. Cotton GDS uses commercial-grade tools that offer speed and reliability in fire and water damage restoration and document recovery.

Our expert teams deploy specialized gear that targets each type of damage with industry-proven efficiency. With decades of experience and a nationwide response network, Cotton GDS restores commercial spaces with professionalism and urgency. Here’s how.

Restoration Equipment 101: What It Is and Why It Matters After Disaster

Restoration equipment includes the tools and machinery professionals use to clean, repair and recover buildings after water damage, fire damage or document loss.

These special tools remove moisture, eliminate smoke residue and preserve critical materials. Without the right restoration equipment, delays and secondary damage can drive up costs and extend downtime.

No matter the emergency or situation, Cotton GDS uses advanced gear that helps create fast, targeted recovery in high-pressure environments.

Understanding the Role of Specialized Equipment in Water, Fire and Document Recovery

As the name suggests, water damage restoration equipment removes excess moisture, prevents mold and stabilizes air quality. On the other hand, fire damage restoration equipment clears smoke, soot and structural hazards quickly to protect interiors and infrastructure.

Document restoration equipment uses freeze-drying and moisture control to salvage paper records and files that would otherwise be lost.

Each tool serves a focused, critical purpose that supports a faster, safer recovery.

The Backbone of Recovery: Water Damage Restoration Equipment That Works Overtime

Water can ruin walls, floors and other critical infrastructure in minutes. Cotton GDS uses commercial water damage restoration equipment to extract moisture fast, prevent mold and minimize long-term structural issues.

Our team utilizes high-powered extraction units to remove standing water, followed by air movers and industrial dehumidifiers to dry surfaces and air. Then, moisture meters track hidden water inside walls and floors.

Each innovative tool works together to eliminate moisture at every level of the structure.

Fire Damage Restoration Equipment: Heat-Proof Solutions

Fire damage brings a dangerous mix of heat, smoke and contamination that can shut down operations fast.

Our expert team uses advanced fire damage restoration equipment to clear soot and remove hazardous debris, all while neutralizing lingering smoke odors.

This special equipment allows our teams to stabilize the site and protect what can still be recovered, which is integral for the buildings that mean the most to you.
