SERVPRO Combines Various Deodorization Products During to Eliminate Odors House Fire Clean Up

One of the most complex issues to resolve after a fire incident at your Lafayette home is the smoky odor that lingers in your property long after other damages are addressed. Incorporating odor removal in the cleaning process can simplify the restoration of normalcy.

It is rare for one method to address all odor issues since different substances cause various smells. For more effectiveness, the methods used during fire damage restoration in your Lafayette home should address various substances and reach all areas within your property. Since cleaning eliminates a significant percentage of odors, SERVPRO increases potency by using chemical agents with odor control properties.

Odor control is necessary whether your goal is:

• Fire damage restoration
• Smoke remediation
• Water & fire damage restorations
• House fire clean up

Odor counteractants can be mixed with cleaning solutions or applied before or after finishing the cleaning action. One line of products our SERVPRO technicians rely on is water-based deodorizers that can add directly to the cleaning solution. We choose products with a variety of dilution ratios and uses.

Other considerations when choosing the deodorizer include the ability to use:

• At different temperatures
• At extreme pH levels
• With a variety of odor sources

Some odors penetrate deep into materials making it difficult for regular cleaning to eliminate them, especially since over wetting materials can cause other issues. Water-based mist deodorizers or solvent-based fragrances can help in such cases. Our SERVPRO technicians use ULV foggers to dispense water-based deodorizers. They produce a fine mist, barely visible, thus ensuring maximum penetration into materials. Thermal foggers help dispense solvent-based deodorizers.
