The Deodorization Process Features Four Primary Steps to Eliminate Smoke Smells in Pearl River Properties. 

While fire restoration needs vary on a case-by-case basis, consistent elements make processes like fire and smoke removal tactics efficient and thorough. From initial mitigation strategies to limit the spread and severity of smoke odors to deodorization tools, our SERVPRO team can make it "Like it never even happened."

When Does Smoke Odor Removal Occur? 

Fire damage restoration in Pearl River homes has multiple steps and stages. Among the final obstacles, our SERVPRO team faces are reducing and removing harsh smoke odors. 

What Does Deodorization Look Like? 

Reducing and removing smoke and fire odors after a disaster can happen in several ways. Following specific base steps can neutralize and permanently eliminate malodors created by the combustion process. These general steps and stages of deodorization include:

• Remove Odor Catalysts – Removing fire debris and other solids can reduce the presence of harsh odors before surface cleaning gets underway. 
• Clean Residues – Cleaning up soot and smoke soils can reduce the presence and severity of post-fire smells. 
• Recreate Odor Penetration – Creating a similar distribution of deodorizing agents like the building was originally damaged uses a wealth of our odor removal tools. 
• Seal Damaged Surfaces – Odors can become trapped in porous materials like drywall and wood trim. To prevent tear-out and build-back, we can apply a special odor-sealing primer before surfaces get repainted after post-fire cleanup. 

The process to remove and neutralize smoke odors after a fire might vary depending on the equipment used and the time spent in each phase, but the core elements remain the same. Once these objectives get met, we can provide a deodorized residence back to the homeowners. Our SERVPRO of Southern Rockland County team can help 24/7 when you call (845) 400-4888.
