What are air movers used for in restoration?

Air movers (sometimes called blowers or fans) circulate air across wet surfaces to accelerate evaporation. Axial air movers are high-CFM low-pressure, used for open-area drying. Centrifugal (snail) air movers push focused air across floors or under flooring systems. Per IICRC S500 §12.5 equipment guidelines.
