SERVPRO Checks the Air Quality in Commercial Buildings in Marysville after Sustaining Fire Damage

Burning and smoldering materials fill enclosed spaces with smoke, and the intense heat helps bind many particles to surfaces throughout your business. Fire damaged buildings in Marysville can continue to circulate loosened soot particles through their HVAC systems. We use particle meters to gain a baseline reading of the air quality in several locations.

What does SERVPRO do to make the air safe again?

What does SERVPRO do to make the air safe again?
We use air scrubbers to remove airborne particles while we work. Negative air pressure set-ups efficiently remove toxic fumes created when PVC and other synthetic materials become overheated and push tainted air out of the building while pulling in fresh, clean air. While we work, we use personal protective equipment (PPE), including face masks and respirators. Our certified technicians also perform several services, including:

    •    Controlled demolition of charred materials, followed by bagging and removal of these items,
    •    Cleaning the HVAC system to remove smoke and soot particles,
    •    Removing water used by the fire department (the presence of such water can cause water damage and microbial infestations),
    •    Thermal fogging to encapsulate hard-to-reach soot particles,
    •    Deodorization methods to make treated areas more pleasant.

Can SERVPRO recheck my business after the work is finished?

Refogging is perfect for odors whose source’s location remains unknown, and other deodorizing methods can destroy odors plaguing specific areas, as well. If our particle meter finds abnormal amounts of pollution inside, we can run air scrubbers to get the situation under control. Even though we perform these checks immediately after we finish a fire damage job, we can perform a recheck for you, if you feel one is warranted.
