Removing Odors After a Housefire

A fire’s aftermath leaves behind both visible destruction and hidden dangers that require expert attention. Fire damage encompasses soot residue, smoke damage, and water damage from fire extinguishing efforts. 

Fire damage repair in New Providence homes is a vital process that helps restore the properties to their preloss state or even better while mitigating further destruction and ensuring safety. SERVPRO® can use precise restoration techniques to provide effective and thorough cleanup for every kind of fire damage. 

Soot is a particulate that spreads far from a fire’s origin, creating an odor and residue. The materials that burn during a fire have a direct effect on the difficulty or ease of a restoration effort. Paper and wood soot are not as oily or as greasy as the soot produced when plastics, carpets, insulation, or furniture burn. 

The approach that our SERVPRO technicians can take to eliminate smoke odors depends on various factors. The factors that can impact the way we remove the odors include: 

• The size of the fire-damaged area
• Type of soot
• Time of delay following a fire
• Type of damaged materials
• The size of the fire

If a fire has heavily ruined some of your home’s structures and contents, it may be necessary to remove them. Our SERVPRO team can perform test cleaning to confirm if a ruined item is restorable. 

Smoke particles may remain in the air long after the removal of visible residue. Our SERVPRO technicians can address the air quality within your home. We can use air purifiers with HEPA filters to capture and eliminate smoke particles and odors. We can place the purifiers strategically throughout the affected areas. 

We can also use thermal fogging to deal with smoke odors. Thermal foggers vaporize petroleum-based or solvent-based deodorizers, generating a fog or smoke consisting of minute particles. Thermal fogs react chemically with smell-causing residues and eliminate the malodors.
