What Deodorizing Equipment do SERVPRO Techs Use During Flood Restoration in Lafayette? 

SERVPRO techs use various equipment and methods to combat odors in your flood-damaged Lafayette property:

• Wet fogging
• Dry fogging (thermal or hot fogging)
• Activated oxygen (ozone) generators

Ozone generators are beneficial during flood restoration as they can combat odors and help in sanitization. Ozone is also effective in neutralizing the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that might result from biological contamination. 

Why are Ozone Generators so Effective in Neutralizing Odors? 

Ozone, also called activated oxygen, is a very reactive molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms. When ozone comes in contact with odor-causing molecules, they are destroyed by the oxidative process. 

An ozone generator applies an electric charge to the air breaking the oxygen molecules (O2) into atoms. The oxygen atoms then combine with another oxygen molecule to form ozone (O3). SERVPRO techs take proper precautions while using ozone generators for odor removal during flood restoration.
