Stinking and sometimes repugnant, the smells we can encounter are numerous and great. Whether it's from water damage, fire damage, or pets, SERVPRO knows the importance of getting a home back to preloss conditions and smelling like home again. To minimize and eliminate odors, SERVPRO utilizes Ozone Generators and Hydroxyl Generators as part of the deodorization process. Ozone gas aids in eliminating odors, especially organic odors. The Ozone Generator turns O2 to O3, changing the properties of the odor. Ozone is paired with a fan to circulate the air since it is corrosive. All plants and animals must be removed from the vicinity while the machine is running. This generator will usually be utilized for up to 24- 72 hours to get rid of any odors. After usage, the smell of ozone will dissipate within 10 to 15 minutes Our Hydroxyl generator is electrolyte equipment that generates Negative Radicals that are unsaturated molecules that also work to remove odors from an area. These odor eliminators are just a piece of the process, but they are essential to getting those tough odors out of the home.
