Why We Install Custom Airtight Barriers During Remediation
Water, fire, and sewage disasters can create nasty situations for your home. There are all kinds of bacteria and unwanted spores that can begin to circulate from standing water, smoke residue, or exposed sewage. Not to mention the mess that remediation crews can leave behind after cutting and removing damaged drywall, flooring, and personal property. At Provision Property Restoration, we use custom airtight containments to make sure none of that happens. This is something our team does differently from other organizations, because we believe in treating every home and family like our own. These containments are custom-built plastic barriers that seal off the damaged area and include air purification devices to keep your home safe, clean, and protected during the remediation process. It takes us extra time and work to set these up, but it’s well worth it for your family’s sake.
In today’s article, we’ll explain what these airtight containments are, how they work, and why they’re such an important part of our restoration process. We’ll also share real-life stories from our customers who’ve experienced the benefits of this unique approach firsthand.
What Are Airtight Containments?
Airtight containments are temporary barriers made from heavy-duty plastic sheeting that we install on-site. These barriers completely seal off the damaged area to stop dust, mold spores, or other contaminants from spreading to the rest of your home. To make the containment even more effective, we connect it to air purification devices, like HEPA air scrubbers and negative air machines, which filter the air in the affected space and trap harmful particles.
Every containment we create is custom-built for the specific space we’re working in. Whether it’s a small bathroom or an entire basement, we make sure the barrier fits perfectly to provide the best protection for your home.
Why Do We Use Airtight Containments?
1. To Keep Your Home Clean
When we cut drywall, remove flooring, or repair water damage, it can create a lot of dust and debris. Without a containment, that mess could spread to other parts of your home. Our barriers trap the dust and debris inside the work area, keeping the rest of your house clean.
Here’s what one of our customers, Mr. Baker, had to say about our process:
"I had some significant water damage from a leaky toilet on the second floor. They promptly responded to my call for help. They cut out drywall and took up flooring. They managed to do all that without getting anything else dirty in the house. The men doing the work were really courteous and conscientious. I felt like a bunch of friends had come over to help me."
2. To Protect Against Mold
If your home has mold, airtight containments are even more important. Mold spores are tiny and can travel through the air, landing in other parts of your home and causing new growth. Our containments, combined with negative air machines, stop this from happening by keeping mold spores locked inside the sealed area, where they get trapped and neutralized in our specialized machines. This is where ensuring the barriers are fully airtight and professionally installed by our remediation experts is vital to successful damage restoration.
3. To Improve Air Quality
Sewage backups and fire damage both release harmful particles into the air. These particles can irritate your skin, eyes, lungs, and cause serious illness or even death in extreme cases. By using air scrubbers with HEPA filters, we remove these particles and return your home to a state of comfort and safety that you can trust.
4. To Give You Peace of Mind
Our airtight containments don’t just protect your home—they give you peace of mind. You can be confident knowing that the damage won’t spread and that we’re taking great lengths to restore your home’s safety and cleanliness. Our Provision Process goes high above normal industry standards and other companies’ procedures.
How Airtight Containments Work
Sealing Off the Area
We use heavy-duty plastic sheeting and adjustables poles to create a barrier around the damaged area. Any edges are sealed tightly with tape to make the containment completely airtight. For access, we install zipper flaps so we can move in and out without letting contaminants escape.Adding Air Purification Devices
Once the containment is built, we set up air scrubbers and negative air machines inside. These devices continuously filter the air, trapping dust, mold spores, and other harmful particles at the source.Daily Monitoring
Throughout the project, we check the containment to make sure it’s still airtight and that the air purification devices are working properly. We also provide you with daily updates so you know exactly what’s happening in your home. Complete transparency is something we take very seriously at Provision.
Real-Life Examples: Airtight Barriers in Action
Our airtight containments have made a big difference for many of our customers. Here are two examples, in their own words:
Nuclear Baker
"I had some significant water damage from a leaky toilet on the second floor. They promptly responded to my call for help. They cut out drywall and took up flooring. They managed to do all that without getting anything else dirty in the house. The men doing the work were really courteous and conscientious. I felt like a bunch of friends had come over to help me."
This is exactly why we use containments—to make sure the work stays where it needs to and doesn’t affect the rest of your home.
Domenica Angel
"I was very happy with their work and they communicated with me every step of the way. They came out and did daily checks and always let me know when they were on the way. They created containment areas and kept all my stuff that wasn’t involved in my flood protected. I would highly recommend them as a person that sees and hears about many complaints about other restoration companies."
For Domenica, our containment system gave her confidence that her home and belongings were being treated with care, because they were!
