What a Generator Rental Powers
A generator rental keeps your restoration job running when the building's power is out — after a storm, a flood, or during a demo where the panel is dead. Water losses and outages go together, so the equipment that dries a structure often has to make its own electricity. A properly sized generator runs your air movers, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers as one drying chain, so recovery starts immediately instead of waiting on the utility.
We rent portable generators for small packages and towable units for whole-site power, delivered fueled and ready. For the highest-capacity drying, our trailer-mounted desiccant dehumidifiers carry their own onboard generator — grid-independent by design. Not sure what wattage you need? Our IICRC-based calculator estimates the generator size for your equipment list.
Power the Whole Drying Chain
From a single air-mover circuit to a full containment, we size and fuel a generator that keeps every unit running through the outage.
- Runs air movers, dehumidifiers, and scrubbers as one drying package
- Portable units for small jobs; towable units for whole-site power
- Delivered fueled with fuel service available on longer deployments
- Ideal for storm, flood, and outage response when there's no site power
What Size Generator Do You Need?
Add up the load, allow for startup surge, and add headroom — here's the quick method.
Total the Running Watts
Add the running wattage of every air mover, dehumidifier, and scrubber you'll run at once. That's your baseline continuous load.
Allow for Startup Surge
Motors draw extra watts on startup. Size above the running total so the generator handles inrush without stalling.
Add Headroom
Leave capacity to extend the package. Our calculator estimates the generator kW for your equipment list and we confirm it.

Why do I need a generator for a restoration job?
Water damage and power outages often happen together — storms, floods, and burst pipes frequently kill the building's power. A generator lets your drying equipment run anyway, so recovery starts immediately instead of waiting on the utility. It powers air movers, dehumidifiers, and scrubbers as one chain.
What size generator do I need?
Add up the running watts of everything you'll run at once, allow extra for motor startup surge, and add headroom to extend the package. Our calculator estimates the generator kW from your equipment list, and our team confirms the size before delivery.
Do you deliver generators fueled and same-day?
Yes. Generators arrive fueled and ready to run, with fuel service available on longer deployments. We run 24/7 storm dispatch across New Jersey (all 21 counties), New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida. See your service area →
Portable vs. towable generator — which should I rent?
Portable generators suit small drying packages and single circuits. Towable units deliver whole-site power for large or multi-unit jobs. For the highest-capacity drying, our trailer-mounted desiccants carry their own onboard generator.
Can one generator run my whole drying package?
Usually yes, when it's sized correctly. Air movers are low amp draw, so the biggest loads are your dehumidifiers. Tell us the equipment list and we'll spec a generator that carries the running load plus startup surge with room to spare.
How much does it cost to rent a generator?
Cost depends on the generator size, rental length, fuel, and delivery distance, with lower weekly and monthly per-day rates. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
