Our Odor Removal Process After Smoke Damage

4/12/2023 (Permalink)

Fire damage is devastating enough for your home or business, but the impact is multiplied when the smell of smoke and grains of charred ashes remain on your property. Certain smells often remind us of specific memories from our lives. Smoky residues left behind on your Nashville property are enough to bring back the painful memories that linger from fire damage. At SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville, we know that odor removal goes deeper than putting air fresheners on the affected areas. Our team ensures quality that goes beyond the surface through a host of odor removal and deodorization methods, which we will list below. Not only does this rid your home or business of smoky odors, but your air quality will also be cleaner and healthier for everyone in the building. 

What Kinds Of Odor Removal Techniques Does Our Team Use?

• The machines we use to remove odors after a fire are made to control air quality by removing airborne contaminants. Our odor removal and deodorization equipment include the following:
• Thermal foggers
• Industrial air scrubbers
• HEPA vacuums
• Disaster restoration is often cyclical. With fire damage can come water damage from firefighting efforts. If the water damage isn’t handled promptly, moisture can sink in, leading to mold growth. Our deodorization products ensure odor control from excessive moisture so you can stop the problem at its root. 
• Suppose you’re a business owner looking for a tailor-made cleaning program to remove odors. In that case, our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program can be an excellent resource. This program caters to the unique needs of your facility because we know that every commercial property is different. 

What Else Should You Know About Odors Caused By Fire Damage?

• One of the first places you should have checked for odors after fire damage is your HVAC units. Smoke and soot odors will circulate and re-circulate throughout your property leading to poor indoor air quality that can be detrimental to your health if you ignore these units. SERVPRO can examine your HVAC units for any harmful particles lodged in there and conduct the necessary cleaning processes to breathe new life into your HVAC systems. 
• Cleaning and sanitizing are essential parts of our fire damage restoration process. We use OSHA-approved cleaning and sanitizing agents to stop mold, mildew, and other harmful microorganism growth. 
• Our highly trained team takes courses on fire/water restoration as well as carpet and upholstery cleaning. After completing course modules and an exam, our team becomes certified in disaster restoration, including odor removal. 

We hope you feel more at ease about how odor removal after fire damage works. It’s difficult to pick up the pieces of your life from something as impactful as fire damage.
