If an insureds personal contents, such as furniture, clothing,
draperies, mattresses, etc., have been exposed to smoke,
1st Action Services uses an ozoning process to remove
the associated odor from the items.
At our state-of-the-art facility, we have a 600 s.f. ozoning room for
contents that are removed from an insured premises. At our
dry cleaning and laundering facility, we also have an ozoning
room for clothing. Depending upon the scope of the job, an
ozoning machine can actually be brought out to the premises
to handle small smoke odor removal jobs.
More about Ozoning:Ozone is a naturally occurring substance
found in nature that we cannot live without. Ozone is an activated
form of Oxygen with three atoms where the regular oxygen has two. Ozone
in the upper atmosphere filters out harmful rays from the sun without
which life on earth would case to exist. Closer to home, ozone is produced by
lightening in thunderstorms. You probably have experienced the freshness
in the air after a storm.
Ozone is very unstable and has an
average half life of 20 minutes. This is why ozone must be produced at the point of use
and cannot be stored in a container for later use. Ozone will cast off it's third atom to any
organic element thereby oxidizing it or converting it to another substance.
In the case of odors, it will convert a foul-smelling substance into a non-odorous
substance naturally with no unhealthy chemicals to buy, store or use. Once
ozone has done its job, it converts backs to oxygen. Ozone will also deactivate and
destroy molds, bacteria, virus, fungus, and mildew.
