Do you recently experience a fire or smoke damage in your home?  What do you do now?  How will you ever get rid of that smell?  OZONING!  What is ozoning and how does it work? Normal oxygen (O2) is converted to O3, which is commonly called ozone.  It reverts back to O2 in about an hour if the O3 is unused.  This leaves the air fresh and clean because the source of the odor has been removed.  There are no artificial odors so the space becomes free of odors, as nature intended. Outdoors, nature eliminates odors using UV light and O3.  Indoors, most places receive very little UV light or O3 to help eliminate the odors.  An ozone machine creates O3, or ozone, in a process that utilizes an electrical current.  Ozone sanitizes the air by breaking down odors and microorganisms at their source. Nature creates O3 as a natural cleaning during thunderstorms, and also from the sunlight striking the earth’s atmosphere.  We have all taken a walk after a thunderstorm and experienced that clean, fresh smell in the air.  That’s O3, or ozone, at work. SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio also offers a service at our facility where we can ozone specific items like clothing, furniture, or anything that has smoke damage and get it smelling like new again.  Call SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio today 210-899-1017
