Smoke Cleaning Services for Your Smoke Damaged Business

12/21/2020 (Permalink)

warehouse with concrete floor, white walls, dark soot and smoke stained walls We received a call in Jurupa for smoke damage business caused by a nextdoor fire. We were able to make it, "Like it never even happened."

Smoke damage can affect your business long after a fire has been extinguished. A fire restoration company can provide smoke cleaning services to remove stains and odors from the following:

  • Air
  • Carpets
  • Upholstery
  • Art

Several methods can accomplish this.

Air Scrubbers

These air filtration systems can remove smoke odor from the air by passing it through a high-tech filter that removes contaminated particles. Purified air returns to the original environment without traces of the odor-causing contaminants.

Ozone Generators

Ozone is oxygen that has three oxygen atoms instead of two. The third atom attaches itself to malodorous particles and neutralizes them. The other two atoms remain in the air as pure oxygen. Ozone generators work best in low-humidity environments where there is less hydrogen to hinder the attachment of the third oxygen atom. They also work quickly, allowing employees to re-enter a business within hours. Ozone treatment is an effective smoke cleaning option because it can effectively penetrate porous surfaces that are difficult to reach.

Hydroxyl Generators

After a fire, a hydroxyl generator can remove smoke odor in high humidity environments flooded by water used to extinguish the flames. One oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom change the molecular structure of the contaminants that produce odor. Hydroxyl generators can purify a wide range of objects, including artwork. They are slower than ozone generators to remove smoke odors. Still, they do not require room evacuation, making them an excellent choice for businesses that don't require relocation after a fire.

Thermal Foggers

After a fire, smoke cleaning objects like rugs and upholstery can be challenging. Thermal fogging is a reliable method of hazardous particle and odor removal. A deodorizer is heated to create a fog that can penetrate the most difficult-to-reach parts of a room and its contents.

fire restoration company can recommend the appropriate method of smoke odor removal for your Riverside, CA, business.

 With fire season still a danger, being prepared is a good first step.  Keep our contact information handy.  We can inspect for free and help remove any type of odor.
