4/12/2023 (Permalink)

Smoke odor cleanup can be complex, hire a professional.

Fire damage can be devastating, whether it's a small kitchen fire or a large commercial blaze. The effects of fire damage are not limited to the structure itself but also include everything in its path: furniture, clothing, personal items and even family heirlooms. Fire damage restoration requires specialized cleaning methods to remove soot and smoke residue from every surface imaginable including walls, floors, ceiling tiles and more.

Fire damage restoration also involves removing water used for extinguishing the flames as well as any other sources of moisture that may have been introduced during cleanup efforts (such as rainwater). When combined with water damage from broken pipes or sprinkler systems during cleanup efforts--it becomes even more important for SERVPRO professionals to respond quickly with trained technicians who know how best to handle these situations safely while minimizing further damage caused by exposure over time if left untreated properly before beginning any repairs needed afterwards.

Smoke Odor Cleanup Process

Smoke odor cleanup is a complex process that requires specialized equipment and techniques. At SERVPRO, our team of experts uses a variety of methods to remove smoke odor from your home or business. These methods include:

Thermal fogging

This involves using a special machine that creates a fog-like substance that penetrates every surface and crevice in your home or business. The fog contains deodorizing agents that neutralize the smoke odor at the molecular level.

Ozone treatment

This involves using a machine that generates ozone gas, which reacts with the smoke odor to neutralize it. This method is particularly effective for removing smoke odor from fabrics, upholstery, and other porous materials.

Air scrubbing

This involves using a machine that filters the air in your home or business to remove smoke particles and other contaminants. This method is particularly effective for removing smoke odor from the air.

Surface cleaning

This involves using specialized cleaning products and techniques to clean every surface in your home or business. This method is particularly effective for removing smoke residue that can contribute to smoke odor.
