Fire & Water Damage Restoration Air Filtration

What's in the Air Depends on the Job

No two restoration jobs bring the same problems. What you need depends on whether you're dealing with fire, water, or both.

Fire and smoke damage leaves behind soot and fumes that soak into drywall, wood, and fabric and keep releasing smell long after the fire is out. Water damage brings a different challenge: fast drying stirs up dust, and if materials have been wet for more than a day or two, mold can already be starting to grow. Mold cleanup itself adds risk, since disturbing mold during removal releases spores that spread quickly if the area isn't sealed off. And sewage or contaminated water jobs bring bad odor and bacteria that need to be dealt with alongside the cleanup.

Jobs That Call for Stronger Air Filtration

• There's visible soot or smoke smell in the space

• Materials have been wet for more than a day or two

• Mold is visible or you can smell it during inspection

• The job requires sealing off the area and running negative air

• Clients say the smell is still there after the first cleanup

• You're scaling from home jobs to bigger commercial jobs

Portable Filters That Move With the Job

Electrocorp's HEPA and carbon units are built to travel from job to job, not stay fixed in one building. The HEPA filter catches mold spores, soot, and fine dust. The carbon filter pulls out smoke smell and other fumes left behind by fire damage. Units run continuously to help keep sealed-off areas under negative air pressure, and because they're portable, the same equipment can handle fire, water, and mold jobs without needing separate gear for each.
