Ozone treatment for Odor

Ozone treatment for Odor

An ozone generator will not only remove pet odors but other troublesome odors caused by mold and mildew, fire, water damage and others. Ozone is considered "natures deodorant" and can get rid of many types of nasty smells

What does Ozone smell like..... think of after a rain & lightning storm..like pictured below.  That clean smelling fresh air that lingers.

When the odor problem is severe a professional will do what is known as a "shock treatment". A shock treatment will introduce a highly concentrated burst of ozone into a larger area. When a shock treatment is done people, pets, and even plants can not remain as the ozone in such high quantities can be a health hazard.                                                                                                                                

In disaster restoration  services we will will use ozone treatment to remove odor for everything from clothes to furniture.

Evaporation

Evaporation

What is Evaporation and how does it affect drying when recovering from a water loss?

We always want to remove as much water as possible in flood situation. One way is through Evaporation.all the standing water has been removed but there is moisture in material and air, this is when we want to increase evaporation to speed the drying process.

Evaporation will increase when

• Wet materials are made warmer.
• When drier air is used, and
• When air is moved more rapidly across the wet surface.

This is when you will see us place air movers and dehumidifiers, being that when water is evaporated , the water vapor is removed by dehumidification or ventilation.

Hike Zion

Hike Zion

It's pretty nice weather, clear blue skies, snow capped mountains should be mild light jacket temps in the 40's.... but down in Dixie ( St. George)   60's to 70's  perfect days. Lets go  to Zion.  Zion NPS reports that there may be (is) snow still on Walters Wiggles on on the chain route to Angels Landing so be prepared with correct foot wear. Check at visitors center and ask about hike conditions first.

Desiccant Dehumidifiers

Desiccant Dehumidifiers.

Desiccant dehumidifiers utilize chemical attraction instead of condensation to remove water from the air. Because they are not limited by low dew point temperatures and when used properly they produce the lowest vapor pressure of any dehumidifier.

Desiccant dehumidifiers have many applications in restorative drying, but they are most commonly used to dry dense materials such as hardwood floor.

Desiccants do not collect water in a pan for automatic pump-out instead , they produce damp reactivation air, which must be vented outside the structure using temporary ducting. In some situations this venting results in a pressure differential in the drying area.

Category 3 Water loss

Category 3 water loss

Category 3 water loss is grossly contaminated and can contain pathogenic, toxigenic or other harmful agents. Examples of category 3 water sources can include, but are not limited to: sewage; toilet back flows that originate from beyond the toilet trap regardless of visible content or color; and other contaminated water entering or affecting the indoor environment, such as wind-driven rain from hurricanes, tropical storms, or other weather-related events. Such water sources may carry silt, organic matter, pesticides, heavy metals, regulated materials, or toxic organic substances.


This is the highest level of contamination. Precautions to protect workers and building occupants must be taken.  These may include the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and/or Air filtration devices (AFD) with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters

Category 2 water loss

Category 2 water loss

Category 2 water contains significant contamination and has the potential to cause discomfort or sickness if contacted or consumed by humans. Category 2 water can contain potentially unsafe levels of microorganisms or nutrients for microorganisms, as well as other organic or inorganic matter ( chemical or biological)

The standard indicate that the water has some contaminatio9n, but not to the level of a category w loss.  Odors might be indicative that water has been contaminated.  Some factors that influence the water's cleanliness are the current use of the structure ) such as nursing home, hospital, day care, veterinary clinic, etc.), the general condition of the structure, previous water loss and the age and history of the structure. Time and elevated temperature will quickly degrade this to a category 3 loss.

Category 1 water loss

Category 1 water loss

Category 1 water originates from a sanitary source and does not pose sustantial risk from dermal, ingestion, or inhalation exposures. Howerver, once clean water leaves theexit point, it might not remain clean once it contacts other surfaces or materials.

The standard does NOT say that the water must be drinkable to be a category 1 loss. It must come from a sanitary source and not have gathered any significant contamination after leaving the pipe or hose.  Some factors that influence the water's cleanliness are the current use of the structure (such as a privte home), the general condition of the structure, previous water losses, and the age and history of the structure
