HOW SMOKE DAMAGE IS HANDLED DURING FIRE RESTORATION

2/8/2022 (Permalink)

Whether you are an owner or the manager of a commercial building, you need to ensure restoration gets adequately handled after a fire. The last thing you want is for the consumers visiting your northern Virginia place of business to get a hint of lingering smoke odors. The good news for a commercial property owner is that soot and smoke odors are part of our fire damage restoration process. SERVPRO of Dale City/Lake Ridge and SERVPRO of Woodbridge/Lorton features a team of restoration technicians specifically trained in odor control to locate and eradicate all sources of pungent odors post-fire.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a major factor in running a space where employees and outsiders frequent. We take smoke and odor control seriously, including measures such as:

• Identifying the location and cause of the odor
• Determining the exact conditions where soot and smoke settled on various surfaces
• Formulating the best course of action for odor removal 
• Ensuring that pack-out services commence, if necessary, to clean and deodorize items off-site

There is a science to first identifying smoke odors and then working on eliminating them. We use EPA-registered deodorants, thermal fogging techniques, and industrial-grade equipment to ensure the job gets done right the first time, allowing you to return to regular business operations as soon as possible.
