Restoration & Remediation
Pyure deploys continuous hydroxyl radical technology to break down the biological and chemical contaminants that standard remediation leaves behind, mold spores, VOCs, odors, and airborne pathogens, without chemicals, residues, or occupant displacement.
Case Study
Costco Fire Recovery
When an electrical fire tore through a 140,000-square-foot Costco warehouse in the middle of the holiday season, the projected losses were staggering: over $36 million in store closure costs, product replacement, and damaged contents, with the store facing a 30-day shutdown.
Rather than disposing of smoke-damaged pillows, clothing, couches, and thousands of other products, Pyure technology broke down odors so thoroughly that all affected merchandise was restored and sold as new. The store reopened in just two days. Total cost: $2.2 million, saving Costco’s insurer an estimated $34.3 million.
Trusted by Partners and Customers
Safely and effectively tackle odors, mold, bacteria, and viruses in occupied spaces.
Tobacco smoke
Nicotine and combustion byproducts permeate porous surfaces, releasing VOCs long after the source is removed.
Wildfire smoke
Wildfire smoke carries fine particulate matter and VOCs that penetrate deep into building materials, causing odors and air quality issues weeks after the fire.
Aspergillus niger (black mold)
Airborne spores and mycotoxins remain suspended in the air and settle on surfaces after the visible mold colony has been physically removed.
Viruses (SARS, influenza, norovirus, H1N1)
Airborne viral particles circulate through HVAC systems and settle on surfaces throughout affected structures, far beyond the point of direct contact.
E. coli
Sewage backflows and Category 3 water losses deposit bacterial contamination on surfaces and in cavities that standard cleaning cannot reach.
Chemical fumes
VOCs from adhesives, coatings, treated lumber, and cleaning agents continue off-gassing into occupied spaces long after construction or remediation work is complete.
Persistent odors
Odors from smoke, sewage, and biological decay are molecular, not cosmetic. Hydroxyl oxidation breaks down the underlying compounds instead of masking them.
Biological and trauma odor
Breaks down biological odors, decomposition gases, pathogens, and airborne contamination in biohazard, trauma, and crime scene environments, helping teams restore affected spaces more completely.
IAQ recovery and verification
Continuous air treatment runs through occupied and transitional spaces during reconstruction and reoccupancy, delivering measurable reductions in airborne contaminants as clearance sampling proceeds.
Water Damage
Mold amplification, bacterial contamination, persistent odor from saturated materials.
Fire and Smoke Damage
VOC off-gassing from combustion byproducts, soot particles, char-related compounds in walls and HVAC.
Sewage and Biohazard Events
Pathogen load, hydrogen sulfide and reduced sulfur odor compounds, fecal coliform aerosolization.
Mold Remediation
Residual spore counts, mycotoxin air load, off-gassing from remediation materials and antimicrobials.
Flood and Storm Events
Combined biological and chemical contamination, standing-water VOC generation, widespread microbial surface spread.
New Construction / Renovation
Formaldehyde, adhesives, coatings, and treated lumber contributing to elevated TVOC readings in newly completed or renovated spaces.
Fewer odor callbacks and complaints, which protects contract renewals and tenant satisfaction scores.
Stretch the time between deep cleans by holding odor and contamination down continuously, not just at the moment of service.
Reduce reliance on masking fragrances and consumable chemical SKUs.
Turn rooms and spaces faster, so labor hours go further per shift.
Why Hydroxyl, Not Ozone, Not Fogging
Contractors and IHs are often told that any oxidizing treatment will do. The differences below show why that isn't true.
| Method | Air + Surface | Occupied Spaces | No Shutdown | No Residue | Oxidation Potential | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pyure HydroxylContinuous air + surface | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | 2.8 V | Continuous, low-concentration treatment that reaches air, surfaces, cavities, and HVAC as air circulates. Runs in occupied spaces with no residue. |
| OzoneO₃ generator | Yes | Evacuation | Downtime | Residual ozone | 2.075 V | High-concentration gas that requires full evacuation and dwell time; residual ozone must clear before reoccupancy. Cannot run during reconstruction. |
| Antimicrobial FoggingApplied chemical | Surface only | Vacate to apply | Event-based | Chemical residue | N/A | Treats surfaces on contact only, with no ongoing air treatment. Leaves residues that need cleanup and can interfere with clearance sampling. |
| UV-C LightLine-of-sight | Line of sight | Exposure risk | Yes | Yes | N/A | Disinfects only within the direct beam path; does not reach cavities, ductwork, or address VOCs and odors. |
The Pyure Solution
Pyure technology generates hydroxyl radicals, the same oxidizing chemistry the atmosphere uses to clean itself, through a proprietary UV-light and ambient-moisture process. Hydroxyls react with VOCs, bacteria, viruses, and mold in air and on surfaces, then degrade back into water and oxygen. No chemical residue. No ozone at treatment concentration. Safe for continuous operation in occupied spaces.
The result is a persistent baseline, lower microbial load, reduced VOCs, and reduced odors, that supports every stage of the remediation and restoration process. Pyure doesn't replace your remediation scope. It works alongside it, before, during, and after the crew is on site.
Problem
Wildfire smoke from nearby forest fires blanketed remote oilfield work camps in Northern Alberta, pushing VOCs, gases, and smoke odors into dining halls, dormitories, and common rooms. With transient crews on long shifts far from medical care, evacuation meant costly shutdowns, and limited HVAC left filtration alone ineffective.
Pyure Solution
More than 140 portable Pyure units were deployed within hours across recreational spaces, kitchens and dining halls, dormitory hallways, and medical and triage rooms. Continuous hydroxyl generation treats air and surfaces at the molecular level, breaking down VOCs, odors, and biological contaminants while the camp stays occupied.
Measurable Outcome
Airborne smoke odor dropped within the first hour of operation. After four hours, residents reported no lingering odor or irritation. The camp stayed operational, with fewer complaints and higher confidence in indoor safety.
The bottom line
The camp stayed fully operational through the smoke event, with no evacuation.
Problem
A 170-suite luxury island resort kept developing a musty, moldy smell despite extensive cleaning, driving guest complaints and forcing rooms to sit vacant for remediation. Lost nights and softened pricing cut directly into revenue.
Pyure Solution
Small, discrete portable units were placed in each suite and the fitness area. Pyure’s hydroxyl technology breaks down the odor compounds at the source and reduces airborne and surface pathogens, with no chemicals and no need to vacate.
Measurable Outcome
Within weeks the musty odor was gone and guests were praising the freshness of the suites. Turnaround times between guests dropped, occupancy rose, and the resort returned to premium pricing, with a rapid payback. Staff continue to run the units, replacing UV optics annually.
The bottom line
Rooms went back into service at premium rates, with a rapid return on the investment.
Problem
A 50-meter yacht was contaminated with multiple mold species. The crew was kept off the vessel for more than a month, staying in hotels, while the captain slept on the sun deck to avoid the interior. High humidity and warmth make maritime HVAC systems ideal for mold, and annual duct cleaning and scenting systems only add cost or mask the smell.
Pyure Solution
After a site assessment, several Pyure IDI™ air-and-surface devices, supplied through maritime distribution partner Vikand, were installed directly into the ship’s air handlers. A controlled test placed mold kits in the crew kitchen, wheelhouse, and both air handlers before and after activation, under identical conditions.
Measurable Outcome
After seven days of continuous treatment, more than double the baseline test window, mold growth showed an overwhelming reduction versus the untreated baseline. The vessel’s air and surfaces were made safe for crew and passengers to return.
The bottom line
Continuous hydroxyl treatment reversed the mold problem that had displaced the crew for over a month.

Certifications & Registrations
Partner with Pyure
Pyure works with industrial hygienists, restoration contractors, JanSan distributors, and HVAC contractors to deploy the right equipment for the contamination profile, project timeline, and occupancy constraints. Select your role to see how Pyure fits.
Built to fit your workflow, not replace it.
Industrial hygienists own the science side of remediation. They assess, they sample, they write the protocol, and they provide independent clearance. Pyure fits into that workflow without replacing any of it.
01
Assessment to deployment
When an IH identifies elevated VOC concentrations, abnormal spore counts, or persistent microbial contamination that exceeds what mechanical remediation will resolve, Pyure units can be specified directly into the remediation protocol. We work alongside the IH to size and position equipment based on space footprint, contamination type, and target reduction thresholds.
02
Protocol support
Industrial hygienists developing remediation scope-of-work documents can reference Pyure as a hydroxyl treatment layer for air and surface treatment during and after physical remediation. We provide technical documentation, unit specifications, and deployment guidance to support the written protocol.
03
Sampling and clearance alignment
Pyure does not replace post-remediation verification sampling. We support it. Units remain operational during the clearance window, and IHs can structure sampling timelines around continuous hydroxyl treatment rather than waiting for passive air settling, compressing the overall project timeline without compromising clearance standards.
04
Occupied-space suitability
Unlike ozone generators and certain fogging agents, Pyure units are rated for occupied spaces. This is a meaningful distinction for IHs managing projects where full building evacuation is not feasible, senior living facilities, healthcare environments, occupied commercial buildings, and multifamily properties where displacement costs are a real project variable.
05
Referral and co-deployment
For IH firms that do not provide remediation technology directly, Pyure is a clean referral. We work with the contractor the IH specifies, deploy to their scope, and report back with unit data that supports the overall documentation package.
Across loss types
Fire and smoke odor removal for active wildfire-smoke jobs.
Pyure is fire and smoke odor removal equipment for active wildfire-smoke restoration and cleanup work. It runs on-site next to the air scrubbers and air movers already in your loadout, adding a hydroxyl treatment layer that breaks down the smoke VOCs and odor compounds embedded in structures, contents, and HVAC, not just the particulate your scrubbers capture. Because units are rated for occupied spaces, treatment continues through pack-out, cleaning, and reconstruction without pausing the job or displacing occupants. We provide deployment support, unit data, and the documentation your IH partners need to fold hydroxyl treatment into the clearance package.
Across loss types
The odor and air quality line to offer facility teams right now.
For distributors serving facility service teams, Pyure is the odor and indoor air quality solution your customers can put to work right now during wildfire smoke events, sold alongside the cleaning and sanitation lines you already carry. Facility teams deploy Odorox® units to break down smoke odors and airborne contaminants in occupied buildings, with no chemicals, no residue, and no need to vacate. It extends your catalog from surface cleaning into continuous air treatment, and fits the purchasing and service relationships you already have with facility accounts.
Across loss types
An indoor air quality upgrade for smoke-affected buildings.
For HVAC contractors, Pyure is an indoor air quality upgrade for buildings dealing with wildfire smoke infiltration. Filtration, even MERV-13 or HEPA, captures particulate but does not break down the smoke VOCs that absorb into materials and recirculate through ductwork. Pyure adds continuous hydroxyl treatment that works on the chemistry filtration leaves behind, and unlike the ozone generators you may already stock, it is rated to run in occupied spaces, so there is no evacuation, no dwell-time lockout, and no residual ozone to clear before reoccupancy. It positions cleanly as an add-on to an IAQ scope without displacing your existing work.
Across loss types
The Pyure Company develops advanced hydroxyl-based air and surface purification technologies designed to improve indoor environmental quality across restoration and remediation, healthcare, industrial, and commercial settings.
