SERVPROS Steps to Deodorizing Your Home Using Thermal Fogging After Fire Damage

Fire losses require the use of sophisticated equipment and practices to recover Miami homes. Despite how devastating structure fires can be, we have experienced professionals working to provide efficient mitigation to reduce property loss. While debris removal, controlled demolition, and cleaning are vital elements of fire recovery, it is also critical to address the widespread harsh odors that can also spread throughout the property.

Deodorization is a critical step in the restoration of fire damage to Miami homes and beachfront properties. Smoke molecules and the combustion of plastics and other organic materials can lead to a blend of harsh odors concentrated throughout the entire household, being the strongest in the area where the fire began and lessening the greater the distance away. We have multiple deodorizing tools that can reduce or eliminate noxious scents, and one of the most heavily used of these is our thermal fogger.

Fogging machines are a favored choice of our SERVPRO professionals removing smoke odors because the generated vapor can penetrate difficult areas to reach and penetrate affected surfaces as well. This process can be more effective and efficient than deodorization with ultraviolet like our hydroxyl machines. Deodorizing compounds exist in many pleasant scents or odorless products that get rapidly heated by the machine to produce fog. When in contact with smoke and odor molecules, these deodorizing agents can neutralize the compounds.

Another favorable aspect of thermal fogging for our SERVPRO team after a fire loss incident is the lightweight versatility of the unit. Many of the other deodorizing tools available to the team are stationary and can only address certain areas until they get relocated. Foggers can move with the technician throughout the full measure of the damaged area without much need for readjustments.

Multiple obstacles exist for homeowners after a fire loss incident, but our SERVPRO of South Miami team can help. With the use of sophisticated tools like our thermal fogging machines, we can make fire emergencies, “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call today at (305) 269-8900.
