Air Pollutants from Water Damage 

When your property develops water leaks, you may end up with poor air conditions. The degradation happens because materials exposed to moisture start breaking down, releasing gases and particles that float in the air, degrading the quality. The wet environment also encourages the development of mold, leading to musty odors. SERVPRO® evaluates properties with water damage, identifying the issues that can impact air quality.  

Issues that diminish indoor air quality 

• Humidity build-up
• Bacteria breed in standing water
• Pest infestations

What Contributes to Air Quality Degradation after Fire Damage 

Fires release particulate matter and aerosols into the air, which can diminish indoor air quality. You can easily tell the air in your house is degraded if you experience eye irritation and noxious odors. SERVPRO fire restoration teams take various actions, including HEPA vacuuming surfaces to remove settled residues, which cuts off the supply of residues escaping into the air. Running air filtration devices helps remove particulate materials and aerosols from the air, restoring indoor air quality. 

SERVPRO restoration technicians offer critical assistance, making it easier to manage indoor air quality after water or fire damage.
