Are Luften products environmentally friendly?
Yes. All chemistries are biodegradable, neutral pH where applicable, and non-hazardous per EPA classification. Many are bio-based.
Why it happens
Environmentally compatible chemistries protect building infrastructure and personnel. Products with a neutral pH prevent corrosion of pipes, pumps, and concrete surfaces, common in wastewater systems. Bio-based treatments work with, rather than disrupt, the natural biological processes in drains and municipal systems, while biodegradable formulations break down safely after use.
What to check
Evaluate whether drain maintenance relies on caustic chemicals, which risk damaging older pipes, versus bioaugmentation. Distinguish between odor-masking fragrances and source-treatment chemistries that break down odorous compounds. For air care, confirm that deployed products are suitable for spaces with continuous occupancy or sensitive individuals, as some can cause irritation.
When to call a professional
A specialist should be consulted for persistent odors like sewer gas, which can indicate hazardous conditions. Recurring drain, grease, or ejector pit issues also warrant professional review, as they signal that a treatment program is failing to address the underlying biological cause of the problem.
How Luften handles it
Luften service programs use bioaugmentation to digest waste in drains and grease traps, a process safe for all pipe materials. For sewer and waste systems, the approach is to eliminate odors at their source using encapsulants and targeted chemistries. In occupied spaces, air treatment solutions are hypoallergenic and designed for sensitive environments like senior living and healthcare.
