Dangers of Dust Left Behind After a Wildfire.

A wildfire is devastating, it is a calamity for the environment and people who live in its boundaries. Not only do they destroy whatever comes in their way, wildfire also increases the amount of air pollution in the surrounding areas.

Many companies are offering high-cost remedies to remove this dust. They bring in large air scrubbers to remove the dust that becomes air borne in the cleaning process. You can accomplish the same thing using one of our commercial grade residential air purifiers. Why pay thousands of dollars for a one time fix when you can buy your own commercial dust removal system for a fraction of the cost. The Maxum HEPA and MAX-700 air purifiers do the same job as commercial air scrubbers. They have a smaller volume but work just as well.
