Cutting Edge Technology: Hydroxyl Generator

10/30/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Woodcrest / El Cerrito / Lake Mathews uses a variety of equipment when restoring your home. During a fire damage or mold remediation the crew may find it necessary to use a Hydroxyl Generator.

What Is A Hydroxyl Generator?

A hydroxyl generator uses 365mm to 385mm UVA rays emitted from the titanium dioxide photocatalytic lamps pass through a permanent anatase coated super reactor screen forming electron hole pairs that react with water and oxygen in the air to form free electrons and hydroxyl radicals that decompose and eliminate organic and inorganic gases and air pollutants.

What Is A Hydroxyl Generator Used For?

A hydroxyl generator is used to remove odors, organic pollutants, eliminate gases and to clean the air. They are used in the case of fire damage to your home or a mold remediation. They are very good at getting out the bad smells so we can help make it “Like it never even happened.”

The hydroxyl generator is 100% safe to use around plants, animals and people during its operation. Before the use of the machine is recommended, we make sure to remove the cause of the smell so the process moves smoothly and quickly to clean the air.

To ask questions about all of our specialized equipment or training or know someone who has a fire loss or mold remediation, call us at SERVPRO of Woodcrest / El Cerrito / Lake Mathews so we can make it “Like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO of Woodcrest / El Cerrito / Lake Mathews Uses Cutting Edge Technology to Restore Your Home!

10/24/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Woodcrest / El Cerrito / Lake Mathews uses cutting edge technology to detect and eradicate the moisture in your home. The infrared camera or IR Camera is used to see water hidden in the walls and floors. The IR camera is extremely handy when you have hard to reach spaces you can’t quite reach with your moisture meters.

How Does An Infrared Camera Work?

Thermal infrared images let you see heat and how it is distributed. A thermal infrared camera detects infrared energy and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image and perform temperature calculations. Thermal imaging cameras have lenses, just like visible light cameras.

Having undetected water in your home or business can lead to a mold issue if it is not fixed in a timely manner.  Most homeowners don’t realize they even have a leak until after the damage becomes visible to the naked eye. If you are concerned about water damage in your home, give us a call TODAY!
