When Was The Air Mover Invented

8/31/2023

0 Comments

 
This week on The DYOJO Podcast we share some more property restoration history. If you listen to IAQ Radio on Fridays, you know that Cliff Zlotnik always opens the show with a question. Joe Hughes and the Z Man are the OG's of property restoration podcasting. They were podcasting before that was even an option, broadcasting live in the 2000's over internet radio.

  • Question 1: Who invented the modern air mover? 
  • Question 2: From what common household appliance did this industry innovator extract his first carpet dryer? 
  • Question 3: What natural disaster was the catalyst for this innovation?

We speak to this restoration founding father's sons and several others about these historic contributions that birthed the water damage mitigation industry. Cliff Zlotnik shared, "His invention of the air mover was probably the most significant invention for our industry. It was a brilliant idea. It was simple. And do you know what's even crazier? His idea to put it underneath the carpet and float the carpet." ​
