HEPA Vacuums
A HEPA Vacuum, as the name suggests, is a vacuum cleaner, but one that is much more powerful and effective than an ordinary household appliance. As most people and businesses that work in construction and restoration knows, a HEPA Vacuum is an essential equipment that cleans mold, odor, dust and debris from the environment.

Usage Story
After a pipe leaked inside a wall of a residential home, unknown to the residents of the house, a musty smell of mold appeared. Our water damage repair and water damage cleanup business was called to interrogate and assess the matter, and we found the problem inside one of the walls in no time. The mold inside the depths of the wall had spread wide by that time, and we had to replace some parts of the walls and the floors to manage the situation.
Even after all the repair work was done. the smell of the mold as well as its residuals in the air was overwhelming. With our Nilfisk Eliminator I HEPA Vacuum, we cleared the air of any signs of molds and dust, and especially the odor that it left behind.
It’s thanks to the powerful and efficient Eliminator I that we were able to completely clear the house of any residuals or odor of mold and successfully complete our work.
