SERVPRO Ensures You Slidell is Safe During Fire Damage Restoration

Air quality monitoring is a significant aspect of fire damage restoration. During combustion, harmful toxins and pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, are released into the building. If the occupants get exposed to such pollutants, they may develop health effects, so we must properly remove them during the restoration process.

When our SERVPRO technicians restore fire-damaged properties in Slidell, measuring the level of pollutants in the air is crucial. Once we have this information, we can choose the most appropriate procedures to remove the impurity until safe air quality levels are achieved. Usually, we remove the pollutants using ozone generators, HEPA-fitted vacuums and air scrubbers.

Some of the tools that our teams use to measure the levels of contaminants in the air include:

· Gas detectors: Can detect the presence of gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. They can be dangerous when their concentrations are high.

· Particle counters: They measure the size and number of smoke particles in the air.

· Indoor air quality monitors: They can measure various contaminants and pollutants in the air, together with the humidity and temperature.

· Multi-gas monitors: They can measure several gases at the same time, including toxic gases and volatile organic compounds.

Whenever a building is safe to enter, it is a win-win scenario for our SERVPRO technicians and its occupants. In most cases, proper ventilation is enough to improve indoor air quality. We are trained to ensure the air quality is within the required standards before, during, and after restoration.
