Phase 4 – Airspace

Treat the air for air quality is a core duty of the restoration company. We use multiple chemistries and delivery systems to get into cracks and crevices to defeat the odor. This is the last operation.

Micro Sizing:

  • ClO2 – 40 to100 microns

  • ULV – 10 to 40 microns

  • Thermal Fogger – Less than 10 microns

Equipment:

  • Backpack or Airofog Wet Fogger:  For use with Citric Acid.

  • ProKure Mister: To apply ClO2 in mist form.

  • Thermal Fogger: For delivery of the smallest particle sizes.

  • PPE: Full face respirator or half face with safety glasses.

Chemistry:

  • Thermal Fogger Chemistry: KBG Thermo55. Fog entire volume airspace all room.

  • ProKure V: 500 ppm.

  • Citric Acid: Odor neutralizer and disinfectant.

  • Unitex: pH neutral floor cleaner.

Procedure:

  1. Mist all surfaces with ClO2. Mist sufficient to not require post-wiping.

  2. Wet-fog with Citric Acid, modest. Let sit for at least an hour before next step.

  3. Thermal fog heavy. Let sit for at least an hour before the next step.

  4. Clean floors with Unitex.

Conclusion:

Volume air space cleaning purifies the air as well as infiltrates cracks, crevices, nooks, and crannies where wet solutions cannot. It is the topper to the process. Ultimately, we want clean, dry, deodorize, and disinfected surfaces and the volume air space after the fire/soot event.
