Air Scrubbers Used in Water Damage & Mold Remediation
When water damage leads to mold growth or contamination, the air inside your home or business can become unsafe to breathe. That’s why Vivid Water Damage & Restoration uses HEPA air scrubbers during restoration. These machines help clean and filter the air — removing harmful particles and odors caused by water, sewage, or mold.
We use air scrubbers on jobs throughout Salt Lake City and surrounding areas to protect your health and ensure safe, clean air during and after the restoration process.
What Is an Air Scrubber?
An air scrubber is a portable filtration system that removes airborne particles, chemicals, mold spores, and odors. It pulls contaminated air through a series of filters (including HEPA and carbon) and releases clean air back into the room. Air scrubbers are essential in water damage jobs where bacteria, mold, or sewage is present.
When Do We Use Air Scrubbers?
- During sewage cleanup or Category 3 water damage
- In mold remediation jobs or areas with high humidity
- After smoke or fire-related water damage
- In homes with compromised air quality due to wet materials
Benefits of HEPA Air Scrubbers
- Remove airborne mold spores, dust, and bacteria
- Reduce odor from water damage or smoke
- Protect sensitive occupants (children, elderly, immune-compromised)
- Meet industry standards for air purification (IICRC, OSHA)
Our Process with Air Scrubbers
- Setup: Our team installs air scrubbers at key airflow points during the drying process.
- Containment: In mold or biohazard cases, we isolate rooms to prevent contaminated air from spreading.
- Filtration: HEPA filters trap 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger.
- Air Monitoring: We monitor particle counts and odors to ensure safe air quality before job completion.
Used Alongside These Tools
