Air Purification as Part of the Fire Restoration Process
East Brunswick Township is known for its robust network of safety services. Its four fire stations, police station, and EMS are ready to respond to any situation, including fire incidents affecting residents. Getting out and about in the Township is easy if one desires outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, or picnicking in parks like Great Oak, Lenape, and Dideriksen. Dining experiences range from local foods to exquisite cuisine in Casablanca, Gusto Grill, and Arooga’s. Community events such as the East Brunswick Art & Music Festival provide a perfect opportunity to interact with people.
Fire damage at your East Brunswick home can become a respiratory hazard minefield, requiring diligent work to restore the preloss safety levels. Addressing air quality issues and refurbishing ventilation systems are some tasks SERVPRO® fire restoration technicians take seriously. We can evaluate whether you have a bad odor problem, particulate matter, or clogged air ducts. That way, we can plan the cleaning process to neutralize odors or dislodge residues.
Ways to eliminate odors
- Chemical neutralization
- Absorption
- Sealing
- Oxidizing the molecules
Our SERVPRO crews are Here to Help® address odor situations, including those deeply embedded within materials. We use various equipment and products like photocatalytic oxidizers, Ozone generators, and acrylic or alcohol-based shellac sealers.
Odors and poor air quality may persist if residues and particulate matter remain within the structure. Physical removal is the only way forward, although that is easier said than done since some are embedded while others are concealed. Our crews pursue different avenues to reach and remove residues lodged in materials. We also take action to address particulate matter in the air.
Ways to eliminate particulate matter
- Air scrubbing,
- Vacuuming ducts,
- Changing HVAC filters
