Importance of Air Quality After Fire Damage in Covina Homes

Let our fast response team at SERVPRO of Azusa / Covina eliminate your fire damage.

We Prioritize Indoor Air Quality After Fire Damage in Covina Properties

A fast and efficient restoration and cleaning of your home after the fire damage is the presence of contaminants and potential toxins in the environment. Circulating airborne threats are severe enough to warrant immediate action before other restoration actions can get underway. In most cases, filtration products from our inventory are sufficient to trap even microscopic particles before impacting the health and well-being of customers or responding technicians.

Safe and Stable Environment

Indoor air quality is a primary concern of fire restoration in Covina homes. Circulating microscopic carcinogenic particles are hazardous for breathing, but additional circulating solids from combustion or aerosolized substances can negatively affect structural surfaces and contents. Filtration getting underway quickly can help to make the area safer.

Airborne Contaminants

There are multiple types of contaminants, and harmful particles circulating in the air after a fire gets extinguished. While soot and smoke residues account for a large portion of the threatening environment after a fire, additional concerns include toxins or biohazardous substances aerosolized by the combustion process. 

Filtering Equipment

To respond to these airborne threats, we must deploy multiple filtration products in the house. HEPA 500 air scrubbers make the greatest immediate impact on eliminating circulating threats in the environment. We also use hydroxyl generators throughout the house to capture these microscopic solids and begin the deodorization process.

Deodorization

Another obstacle to comfortable living conditions being restored in the house is overcoming harsh malodors generated by combustion. Volatile compounds from burning materials create harsh and offensive smells that require several types of equipment to neutralize. Some of these include:

• Thermal foggers
• ULV foggers
• Hydroxyl generators
• Ozone machines

It is a top priority of responding technicians to provide safe and clean home environments after fire exposure. Filtration products improve indoor air quality, and this is a considerable step in the fire damage restoration process to come. Give our SERVPRO of Azusa / Covina team a call now at (626) 387-4111.
