What purpose does an air scrubber serve?

If your are ever having mold remediation done we may let you know we are setting a machine called an air scrubber. These can be somewhat loud and you may wonder what these are doing to help the process along.
The main reason we use these is air filtration. An air scrubber will pull air through about 3 different filters to ensure there are no particulates remaining in the air exiting the machine. Doing this will trap any mold spores on the filters as they linger through the air while we may be doing demolition or cleaning.
Another reason we may use them is to pull air from inside of containment and duct it outside of the containment to create a negative pressure of air, ensuring that no mold spores can escape the containment through the air scrubber filters as well as in the case that it is breached or there may be a gap.
The air scrubber is an important tool to use for mold remediation and one that we rely on to keep the air clean and safe in your home. If you ever need mold remediation be sure to call SERVPRO to make it “Like It Never Even Happened”!
