Deodorizing West Lynn Homes During Fire Restoration

Successful removal of odor during fire restoration of your West Lynn home requires a thorough understanding of the nature and behavior of smoke. SERVPRO techs understand how odor molecules permeate a structure causing an odor problem after a fire incident. 

SERVPRO uses a combination of deodorization techniques during fire restoration of your West Lynn property. The goal is to help the deodorant particle reach the odor-causing molecules that penetrate porous surfaces. Apart from the small size of the odor particles (between 0.1 to 4 microns), techs must pay attention to other factors that help them penetrate materials-

  • Heat: Hotter the temperature, the deeper is the penetration of odor molecules
  • High Concentration: If more residue is present, it can impact a greater surface area
  • High Exposure Time: The longer the residue particles stay, the deeper they can penetrate

SERVPRO techs develop a deodorization strategy that considers all these factors to leave your home smelling “Like it never even happened.” 

Tackling Odors Lingering in Air of Fire Damaged Homes

SERVPRO techs use air scrubbers to remove air-borne odor particles after fire damage to your West Lynn home. This equipment pulls air through charcoal filters capturing the volatile odor molecules. The filtered air is then reintroduced back into the indoor environment. In some situations, techs also use air scrubbers fitted with HEPA filters if any particulate matter in the air needs to be removed.   

Another effective method to eliminate lingering odor is ventilation. SERVPRO techs use ventilation fans to exchange indoor and outdoor air, exhausting odors outside and drawing in fresh air from outside.
