After putting the MOUNTO Water Damage Restoration Combo Package through its paces on multiple flood-damage jobs, here's the real deal—no fluff, just facts.
What Rocks:
• Industrial-Grade Muscle: 24x AM33 Air Movers (2000 CFM each) create a hurricane-force airflow that dries walls and subfloors in half the time of cheaper units. The roto-mold housing? Survived a tumble down concrete stairs.
• HEPA Power: The AF500 Air Scrubbers trapped mold spores so effectively, post-remediation air tests came back cleaner than a hospital OR. The variable speed switch lets you dial in perfect suction for attics vs. basements.
• LGR Dehumidifier Genius: The DH80s' built-in pumps saved me 2 hours/day vs. manual draining. Their auto-restart after power failures is a lifesaver when working in storm-damaged areas with spotty electricity.
What Stings:
• Early Burnouts: Like another reviewer, I had one AF500 scrubber die mid-job. MOUNTO replaced it within 72 hours, but downtime hurts when you're racing against mold growth.
• Cord Chaos: With 25ft cords on every unit, you'll need serious cable management. I ended up buying $200 worth of heavy-duty hooks to keep the job site from looking like a spaghetti monster.
Pro Tips:
• Use the air movers in a "crossfire" pattern (opposing angles) to prevent moisture pockets in corners.
• The scrubbers' HEPA change indicator lies—check filters manually every 48 hours on mold jobs.
Bottom Line: This kit turned a 5-day water damage job into 3 days. Despite the hiccups, MOUNTO's responsive support and commercial-grade performance make it a beast for restoration pros. Just keep spare filters and circuit breakers on hand.
