Estimating & Workflow
Hydroxyl generator
A piece of air-treatment equipment used in fire and odor restoration that produces hydroxyl radicals, which react with odor-causing compounds in the air and on surfaces. Restoration crews run hydroxyl generators during the cleaning phase to reduce smoke smell, often alongside air scrubbers and air movers. The equipment time and the labor are documented in the estimate as part of the odor control scope.
