The Steps of Deodorization

A fire damaged kitchen The smells after a fire can be persistent and overwhelming, so we are here to help deodorize the affected space.

There are four principles of deodorization that we follow when restoring an affected area after a fire:

1. The first step is to remove the source. The charred material all needs to be removed first to start the process. 

2. Our team then cleans contaminated surfaces to remove soot residue. This needs to happen as soon as we are able to get to it. This will help minimize damage.

3. After removing the residue, our franchise professionals then use different methods to remove odor. This principle is called "recreate the conditions of penetration."  We use many different methods to remove odor form objects.  We use ozone machines, hydroxyl machines as well as thermal foggers to remove odor. 

4. When necessary, our team members seal and encapsulate the odor using special sealing materials, so the odor does not penetrate the sealer and continue to produce an odor.

Our team is able to assist with any fire, smoke, and soot job to help get your life back on track.
