Suspicious sills (again).

shadowfire, have you experienced any issues with ozone gassing? Rubber, electronics, etc. getting damaged? Are you using a cheap Chinese variant or a more expensive Swedish one?
I'm considering buying a device from China because I think the Swedish ones are unreasonably expensive...

I bought mine in Sweden, have an AirSteril with a slightly stronger lamp. No problem with damaged materials or anything, but I know there have been warnings against ozone gassing things like boats because someone claimed the upholstery was damaged. I can't say for sure if that's true or not, but I haven't had any problems myself (and I've done quite a bit of ozone gassing in bedrooms, living rooms, etc. with furniture in place).

Tear out all the organic old junk. At the slightest suspicion! It's terrible to live in sick houses. My friends live in an area with sick houses that cost around 5 m. Everyone denies the situation to keep the price up. They smell like puke, the car smells like puke, the playground smells like puke. The children are always sick. They don't want to listen and don't feel it themselves. Don't hesitate, if you have the chance, get it out.

hehe, have been at it for 9 years and soon torn down almost the entire house except for the frame, so yep.

Hi, Wow, that's persistent. Didn't the ozone treatment help?

 

[shadowfire]

Hello, Wow, that was persistent. Didn't the ozone gassing help?

No, it doesn't help if there's still an active odor source. It's possible to sanitize a fire-damaged apartment with ozone, but if there's still smoldering somewhere, then ozone gassing alone isn't enough. You must always remove an active odor source, then the ozone can eliminate passive odor sources, aka odor-contaminated material.

I'm currently looking for at least one more active odor source. I've eliminated 7-8 already.

No, it doesn't help if there is still an active odor source. I mean you can decontaminate a burned home with ozone, but if something is still smoldering somewhere, it's not enough to just use ozone. You always have to remove an active odor source, then the ozone can eliminate passive odor sources, aka odor-contaminated material.

I'm currently looking for at least one more active odor source. I've eliminated 7-8 so far.

I suspect that our asfaboard (70s house) smells. Did you have issues with that?

The asfaboard definitely smelled, but it was actually because the entire outer panel was pressure-treated. The panel contaminated with smell so much, so it was the main culprit in the drama.

The asfa board definitely smelled, but it was actually because the whole outer panel was pressure-treated. The panel contaminated the smell so greatly, so it was the main culprit.

Thanks for the reply! I will be tearing down all the facade in the near future, so that junk will be gone. When I completely renovated the guest house, the asfa board smelled like vomit, so it was good to get rid of it.

Have you managed to solve all your smell problems after all these years?
