Ozone Treatment—an Effective Solution for Removing Unpleasant Odors

There are many daunting factors associated with a fire outbreak; it wouldn't be wrong to state that these unfortunate circumstances leave homeowners in an overwhelming situation. Fire and smoke damage will cause significant damage to the property and considerable financial loss.

However, apart from all these damages, the most troubling factor is the strange, pungent smell that makes it even harder to continue living in the property. When SERVPRO gets a call about fire damage, you will notice that the fire restoration professional will be placing ozone machines throughout the property. 

An ozone treatment serves to be the most viable high-tech solution that works efficiently in eradicating musty odors. The ozone machine will provide you with a fresh and smell-free environment. Let us dive deeper into the benefits associated with this remarkable technology.

What is Ozone?

Ozone is a molecular gas composed of three atoms of oxygen, with excellent commercial and residential cleaning uses. Ozone is used for cleaning purposes mainly because it can easily detach one of the oxygen molecules and then re-attach to other molecular substances, thereby changing their composition chemically. Due to this capability, ozone works efficiently in eradicating the unpleasant odor of smoke and other reagents that cause a foul odor.

Ozone Machine—Removing Smoke Odor Now Made Easier

The ozone machine is a piece of efficient equipment, generally available in a mobile unit that removes indoor odors and pollutants. It has a compartment that traps carbon dioxide from the environment. An electrical discharge is then used to split oxygen into a molecular state. This process, which is known as corona discharge, helps in forming ozone gas— a highly reactive gas that clears out the pungent smell present in the environment.

Precautionary steps while using the machine 

As you are working with high voltages, it is essential to take severe protection while using the machine; hence, it is always recommended to ground the fault circuits to avoid current issues. Apart from that, all the metal casing must also be adequately grounded to ensure you do not leave loose metal parts while the machinery is in function. Though the machine looks simple to use, there are certain imminent dangers associated with it. Therefore, hiring a professional staff to carry on with the procedures is a more convenient solution.
