Air Purifiers for Hurricane Recovery: What We Recommend

Hurricane season 2017 has been one of the worst of the past 20 years. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria have done immense damage and left many people struggling to rebuild and repair. Though the wind damage is perhaps the most obvious effect of a hurricane, water damage is just as costly and can be longer lasting. Here of our top suggestions for using air purifiers for hurricane recovery purposes.

  Why Should You Use an Air Purifier?

With all of the difficulties that come with hurricane recovery, many people may be wondering why they should buy an air purifier during this time. This question has several different answers, but the primary reason is that hurricanes and the water they introduce into homes and building promote mold growth. Though any water damage can cause mold, the warm climates in which hurricanes occur can speed up growth and turn mold into a serious problem.

Another reason people should be using air purifiers for hurricane recovery is that many contaminants can be introduced to the air during a hurricane. Things like pollen, sawdust, and a range of different particulates are kicked up by high winds and can cause problems for days or even weeks afterward. In order to protect your health in the aftermath, an air purifier is a great solution.
