Air Quality Improvement

After a water damage incident, it's not just visible damage you need to worry about—airborne pollutants, allergens, and mold spores can linger in the air and compromise indoor air quality. At Water Damage Restoration Vancouver, we provide expert air quality improvement services to ensure your home or business is safe, clean, and healthy to breathe in again.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, especially after water damage or mold growth. Poor air quality can cause:

  • Allergies and asthma symptoms
  • Headaches, fatigue, and eye irritation
  • Respiratory infections and long-term health issues
  • Odors and an overall sense of discomfort

Whether it's mold spores, bacteria, dust mites, or chemical residues, we eliminate airborne threats at the source.

Our Air Quality Restoration Process

1. Assessment and Air Testing

We begin with professional indoor air sampling to detect contaminants, moisture, and mold spore levels.

2. Air Filtration and Purification

We install commercial-grade air scrubbers and HEPA filtration systems to remove harmful particles from the air.

3. Deodorization and Neutralization

Using ozone generators or hydroxyl technology, we break down and eliminate odors, bacteria, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

4. Humidity Control

We regulate indoor humidity with dehumidifiers to prevent future mold growth and maintain optimal air quality.
