Why SERVPRO Uses Air Scrubbers While Mitigating Fire Damage In Properties In Coram

The size of particles that settles all over your home in Coram during a fire makes it easy for many of them to float back up into the air. These particles not only can cause irritation and other health effects in anyone inside the property, but they also produce the signature scent characteristic in homes after a fire occurred. The continuous disintegration of these particles means that the air in your home always seems contaminated.

The ever-present scent gives away the existence of soot in the air, which is why SERVPRO uses powerful air scrubbers during the time we work inside your Coram home mitigating fire damage. Our air scrubbers help clean the air of dust, pollen, microbes, and other pollutants, also, due to their HEPA filters.

Smoke particles can give the appearance of being harmless despite their dirty and greasy properties. Breathing them can cause severe health effects, though, so cleaning the air becomes a priority for us. With a microscope, you can see their actual appearance. Jagged edges make them sharp and able to etch into metals and other hard materials. Soft materials can also become increasingly damaged; the longer soot layers rest on their surfaces.

Cleaning soot from your home includes the use of brushes that whisk dry carbon off surfaces, while greasy deposits get treated with sponges and cloths, instead.  Some of this soot ends up in the air as we clean your home. Working on ceilings and higher areas on walls adds to the amount of soot floating in each room.

During the act of cutting damaged walls and other materials away from adjacent areas that remain unscathed, additional dust enters the area. Air scrubbers remove this before we can breathe any of it, and also before it settles on furnishings inside your home.

Our employees have both in-house training and on the job experience in a wide range of restoration and mitigation settings.
