How Do You Remove Smoke Odor?

The odor from fire and smoke damage is pungent and acrid. It’s probably unlike anything you’ve encountered before—a combination of burnt wood, furniture, and plastics, often tinged with chemical odors from combusted materials. Smoke also carries soot particles that embed themselves on surfaces, constantly releasing an unpleasant odor. Simply airing out your house won’t eliminate this persistent smell. Smoke byproducts are sticky and cling to walls, fabrics, and furniture, requiring professional intervention for complete removal. Our smoke damage deodorization process tackles the problem at its core.

We use a multi-step approach that includes powerful cleaning solutions to remove soot particles, followed by professional-grade odor neutralizers that target and eliminate smells at a molecular level. Our techniques ensure a complete and lasting removal of the smoke odor, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean once again.

Does Smoke Damage Ever Go Away Entirely?

Smoke damage usually doesn’t go away on its own. However, with professional techniques, it can be entirely eliminated. The sooner you address it, the sooner your space will feel healthy and habitable. Smoke damage repair involves a combination of the following treatment methods:

  • Air scrubbing
  • Odor neutralization
  • Wall and ceiling cleaning
  • Floor, wall, and ceiling repair and replacement work

What’s Involved in Water Damage Restoration?

Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved in water damage restoration:

  • Water extraction and drying
  • Dehumidification
  • Structural drying
  • Furniture cleaning and restoration

How Long Does Water Extraction Typically Take?

The time it takes to complete water extraction at your property depends on the severity of the water damage, the accessibility of the water, and drying conditions like proper air circulation and dehumidification. Minor leaks with accessible water are the quickest to clean up, while major water damage from large-scale flooding may require multiple days of continuous extraction before all the water is contained. The best way to gain a good idea of your project’s specific turnaround requirements is to call us to discuss the details.

How Does the Water Type Affect Extraction and Cleanup Recommendations?

The type of water damage your property experiences impacts how we approach the extraction and cleanup process. Clean water from a burst pipe requires swift removal to minimize property damage. However, standard drying techniques with dehumidifiers and air movers are typically enough for restoration.

Gray water from sources like washing machines overflows, introduces contaminants like soap scum and food particles. While extraction follows a similar process, cleanup requires additional sanitization to eliminate lingering bacteria.

Things get more complex with black water, which is contaminated with sewage and poses a serious health risk. Extracting black water requires specialized equipment and safety protocols to prevent the spread of contaminants. Cleanup involves water removal, extensive sanitation, and potentially demolishing and removing heavily affected materials.

Storm Damage Restoration

When your property suffers after excessive wind and bad weather, your roof, siding, windows, and other exterior elements can begin to fail, letting water and other elements inside. Combat the adverse effects of moisture with storm damage restoration. Services include wind damage repair, flood damage services, odor removal, and reconstruction to make signs of damage disappear for good.

Mold Clean-Up and Removal

Mold clean-up and removal begin with an inspection and identification of the species that are the source of the problem. At this stage, we take containment measures to protect the rest of your home from potential exposure to mold’s harmful spores. Our next step is removing or containing porous objects and surfaces that can’t be remediated. This may include drywall, carpeting, and unsealed wood.

Once all surfaces and objects that can’t be saved are absent, we begin cleaning and sanitizing affected areas. During this process, we run HEPA air filters continuously to remove hazardous spores and restore indoor air quality.

Can a House Full of Mold Be Saved?

Mold spores are common in the air we breathe every day. They float around harmlessly unless they encounter the perfect breeding ground: moisture. In a house affected by excess humidity, leaks, or flooding, these mold spores can land on damp surfaces and start multiplying rapidly. This is when mold becomes a problem, potentially causing respiratory issues and damaging your property. The good news is that even houses with significant mold growth can be saved. Our proven mold cleanup and repair techniques address the problem down to its cause. We start by identifying and eliminating the moisture source, preventing future mold growth.

Then, our technicians safely remove and dispose of affected material, employing advanced cleaning methods and antimicrobial solutions to ensure all remaining spores on surfaces are eradicated. Our multi-step approach effectively tackles your mold problem, leaving your home healthy and free from harmful spore growth.
