Xeric Ltd High Energy Drying Fleet

5th March 2020

Xeric is a Gelder Group company and operates the UK’s largest fleet of high energy drying equipment. The system dries out flooded properties in a matter of days rather than traditional methods which can take months.

Due to the catastrophic flooding following ‘Storm Dennis’ the Xeric Emergency Response Team have been called into action to provide critical Drying / Mitigating works.

The Xeric fleet of trailers have been installed across West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and South Wales. This rapid response is helping to ensure Commercial Businesses, Schools and Domestic Dwellings are returned back to some normality as quickly as possible.

Xeric Manager Dave Stainton commented: “The Storm was particular devastating as it has affected such a wide area of the country. It is a real team effort to ensure everyone affected by the floods are being dealt with professionally and efficiently”.
