As soon as our emergency team has minimized and assessed damage, Mellon Certified Restoration begins the work of cleaning and rebuilding. Our restoration technicians are highly skilled, experienced professionals.

Using a Turbozone ozone cleaner (an oxidizer) here at our plant, they can remove the persistent smell of smoke from books, furniture, clothing and other belongings.

Removing the acrid, diffuse odor of smoke that lingers in a structure is more of a challenge. One key weapon against smoke odor is an air scrubber called a negative air machine. Equipped with an H.E.P.A. filter, this device picks up minute particles of dust, while its activated charcoal satellite absorbs the smell of smoke.

After fires or other water damage (for instance, when a washing  machine hose bursts), a top priority is to dry the building before wet conditions cause more destruction. Our Drizair 200, a large commercial dehumidifier, pulls 180 pints of water from the air every 24 hours -- versus the 16 pint-per day capability of a household model. It is used with an air mover to speed the drying process.

Our state-of-the-art equipment also includes a large ultrasonic cleaner. Like an oversized jewelry cleaner, this machine does the delicate job of removing soot from knick-knacks and other hard-to-clean objects as well as from television sets, stereo components, and other electronic equipment.
