Removing Smoke Odors in Flagler Beach Needs SERVPRO

Smoke and Odor Removal Are Vital Factors in Fire & Smoke Restoration

Many smaller fires thankfully lack major burn damage to the home, but can still create a mess through smoke and ash. Small fires, especially in the kitchen, can coat an entire room or more in smoke and ash even if they only burn for a few minutes. As a result, multiple treatment techniques and avenues must be considered and used. Companies like SERVPRO that have a varied set of equipment and extensive contractor lists shine in these situations, as we can blend all potential smoke damage types and situations into a single restoration plan. Here are a few different ways we deal with smoke damage for a small fire.
 
Heavy-Duty Cleaning Equipment
Even contained fire damage in Flagler Beach often requires a huge cleanup job. Ash and smoke tend to coat nearby surfaces thickly, and smaller, more common household cleaning supplies simply aren't enough to remove this material. We have access to a variety of strong and specialized cleaning supplies that make short work of visible staining, streaking, and other non-burn damages.
 
Deodorizing Foggers
Once any visible damage has been cleaned up, the scent of smoke can still linger in a room. Smoke particles become embedded in ceilings, walls, and objects, becoming extremely difficult to remove fully. It is virtually impossible to eliminate the smell of smoke without the right tools, and it may linger for years or even decades if left untreated. We use specialty thermal fogging machines to flush out the odors from a room, removing even the deepest smoke smells entirely. That is the final step. Typically, we can use hydroxyl generators or ozone machines to change the chemical makeup of the ambient air during the fire damage restoration service.
 
Carpet and Fabric Cleaning
It's not just parts of the building that SERVPRO takes into account in a fire restoration. We also take care to treat objects and belongings that have suffered fire damage, employing a variety of advanced restoration techniques depending on the situation and specific item. Carpets, rugs and other fabrics are some of the trickiest materials to deal with, as their small fibers are often both delicate and excellent traps for ash and smoke particles. We handle these items with both a set of our in-house treatment techniques such as foam scrubbing and also extra help from local dry cleaning business partners.
