Fire and Odor Never Win in Marlborough Homes That Use SERVPRO

One thing about the aftermath of a fire in a home, homeowners do not have to resign themselves to living with the slight odor of fire damage. With proper applications, the eradication of smoke odors is entirely possible.

There are many levels to accomplishing complete removal of damage from the fire and smoke odor in Marlborough homes. SERVPRO technicians use different methods to achieve this. There are several contributors to the foul odors in the house.

Removal of Charred Items

SERVPRO technicians inspect each item as they go through the property and remove items too burned for restoration. This action assists in substantially lessening the smoke odors. Controlled demolition actions help reduce scents and prep the property for any needed repairs or reconstruction.

Scope the Property for Water Damage

Water does well to extinguish fires; however, unless rapid cleanup efforts occur, it also has the potential to amplify the damage to the property. The technicians use water extraction equipment and drying as needed, along with ventilation to lower odors in the home.

Hand Removal of Smoke Damage

Careful testing to determine the best cleaning methods on surfaces and objects requiring smoke residue removal. Technicians utilize both dry and wet cleaning processes as needed for the best outcome. In cases where painted walls contain soot and elimination is not possible, the technicians seal the wall ready for priming and painting.

Techniques for Smoke Odor Removal

Depending on the level of odor control required, technicians choose from different treatments. For slight odors, time-release gel pellets are a good choice. When more robust scents remain in the home, technicians commonly use devices such as hydroxyl generators, air scrubbers, or thermal foggers. Both hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging work to eradicate odors at the molecular level and work even against deeply embedded odors.
