SERVPRO of Bennington and Rutland Counties is keeping its customers and employees safe with the use of an Air Scrubber. Give us Call 802-375-1500

An air scrubber also known as a High Efficiency Particulate Air vacuum is a portable filtration system that removes particles, chemicals, and gases from the air within a given area. This piece of equipment draws in air from the surrounding environment and the air then passes through a series of filters to remove any contaminants that may be there.  Air scrubbers are essential during restoration jobs such as mold, dust asbestos, and fires where airborne contaminants are present and can disturb the restoration process. Air scrubbers use several different filters, a HEPA filter can remove 99.7% of particulates in diameter, Primary Filters are used to protect the HEPA filters, and charcoal filters are primarily used for fire damage jobs.

                We recently took care of a fire in a home in Bennington County that had a fire damage, and an air scrubber was needed during our fire damage restoration process. As explained above an air scrubber filters particles that are in the air well, when your Bennington home experiences a fire many large particles are still floating in the air. Smoke particles can be extremely dangerous to your health and your safety is our number one priority here at SERVPRO of Bennington and Rutland Counties which is why we always use the proper equipment when restoring your home or business.  However, these particles are not only dangerous to your health as well as our staff who are restoring your home but, they also produce a strong odor that is often associated with fires. If these particles continue to float in your home the home will stay contaminated making it impossible to restore.

SERVPRO uses air scrubbers not only for fire damages but also for mold jobs, sewage damages, and even at times when homeowners have respiratory problems that are due to poor air conditions.
