Chemical & Remediation Assets — Professional-Grade Equipment

Disaster Recovery maintains a fleet of over 200 specialist chemical and remediation assets, deployed daily across Australia. From negative air machines that create safe containment zones to EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments that eliminate biological hazards — our equipment fleet is the backbone of every restoration project.

Every piece of equipment is maintained to manufacturer specifications, calibrated on schedule, and tracked through our digital command ecosystem. When a technician arrives on-site, they deploy professional-grade assets that meet or exceed IICRC standards — not consumer-grade alternatives.

Negative air machines are critical for any job involving airborne contaminants — mould spores, asbestos fibres, smoke particulates, or biological agents. These machines create negative pressure within a containment zone, ensuring contaminated air flows inward (toward filtration) rather than outward into clean areas.

Our fleet uses true HEPA filtration rated to 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 microns — the standard required by IICRC S520 for mould remediation and asbestos-adjacent work. Combined with our air scrubbers, these machines ensure indoor air quality is restored to safe levels before occupants return.

Every machine is tested and HEPA filters are replaced according to manufacturer specifications — never stretched beyond their rated capacity.

Effective disaster recovery often requires targeted chemical treatments. Our antimicrobial arsenal includes EPA-registered disinfectants, sporicides, and fungicides selected for their efficacy against the specific organisms found in Australian disaster environments.

For water damage restoration, we apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent mould colonisation during the drying process. For biohazard cleaning, hospital-grade disinfectants eliminate bloodborne pathogens and infectious agents. For fire damage, specialised odour counteractants and smoke sealants address the unique chemical compounds produced by combustion.

All chemical treatments are applied by trained technicians following Safety Data Sheet (SDS) protocols, with full documentation in our digital platform for insurer verification.

Proper containment prevents cross-contamination and protects building occupants during restoration work. Our containment inventory includes polyethylene sheeting, zippered containment barriers, self-adhesive films, negative air ducting, and branded caution tape and signage.

For mould remediation projects, we construct full containment enclosures that meet IICRC S520 specifications — sealed barriers with negative air pressure, decontamination chambers, and HEPA-filtered exhaust. For fire damage work, containment prevents soot and smoke residue from spreading to unaffected areas during demolition and cleaning.

Our PPE programme works alongside containment systems to create layered protection — the equipment protects the environment, the PPE protects the technician.

Every asset in the Disaster Recovery fleet carries our branding — and that branding carries meaning. When property owners, insurers, and building managers see Disaster Recovery caution tape around a containment zone, branded signage at a site entrance, or our liveried vehicles in a car park, they know a professional, nationally accredited restoration team is on the job.

Our branded asset range includes: vehicle wraps and livery, caution tape and barrier tape, site signage and safety notices, equipment labels and tracking tags, uniforms and PPE, and documentation materials. This consistent visual identity reinforces professionalism and builds trust with every stakeholder on-site.

Combined with our field essentials kits and executive partnerships, our branded equipment fleet represents the complete Disaster Recovery commitment to operational excellence.
