Why air scrubbers are an important part of the restoration process. An air scrubber is a portable filtration system that removes particles, gasses, and/or chemicals from the air within a given area. These machines draw air in from the surrounding environment and pass it through a series of filters to remove contaminants. Hazardous particles can settle on carpet, upholstery, and furnishings, or be drawn into the HVAC system and contaminate other parts of a building. If these contaminants are not removed, they will have a negative effect on the indoor air quality (IAQ). While naturally occurring particles, such as human skin cells, animal hair, and dirt, are nearly always present, toxic gases released by sewage-borne bacteria and mold spores can cause adverse human health effects when inhaled. Be sure the restoration contractor you hire knows what air scrubbers do and is willing to use on on your job.
