Commonly used equipment in fire damages
5/1/2018 (Permalink)
A significant part of fire cleanup focuses on purifying contaminated air and neutralizing odors caused by smoke. Here at SERVPRO of Metrocrest we use special equipment to help clean and sanitize the air and make a home safe to breathe in again. A HEPA (High- Efficiency Particulate Air) Vaccum, is a high-powered vacuum with filters that trap airborne particles like soot. It can be used on surfaces including ceilings, walls, and floors. We also use Air Scrubbers. An Air Scrubber helps to eliminate odors and clean the air by using a filtration system to suck air in and filter it before releasing it back into the house. An Ozone Machine is another piece of equipment that is used during a fire cleanup. The Ozone Machine neutralizes odors and should only be used after a house is cleaned, emptied of all contents and vacated. The machine is typically used for a couple of days and the home must be ventilated for an additional 24 hours before reentry.
