Elimination of smoky smells makes your retail space more inviting.

Lingering fire-related smells are not only annoying to business owners, but they can also affect your financial success if customers find them odious and head down the street to a competitor. Although masking agents that cover up the smell offer a short-term fix, exploring evolving technologies that work through chemical reactions to neutralize the smell is a sustainable alternative.

How Do Professional Odor Control Experts Deliver Results?

Even if the evident fire damage in Cheshire businesses is minimal, the smell of a fire prolongs the event. If the blaze occurred in a snack shop or staff kitchen area, the protein-based malodors could be pervasive, although the residues causing the smells might be nearly invisible. No traces of the soot can remain when the goal is to eradicate the smells caused by incomplete combustion or dehydration of fuels. To this end, SERVPRO technicians:

• Seek out, bag, and dispose of all fire debris (even hidden in cavities or elsewhere)
• Deep clean surfaces to remove the bulk of the soot particles carrying the odors
• Consider sealing surfaces of porous structures where absorbed odors continuously vaporize (drywall, wood trim)
• Replace some porous materials, including insulation
• Switch out filters in HVAC and other air circulating systems
• Use advanced odor-fighting technologies:
• Thermal fogging -- pairing odor-bearing particles with combusted deodorants to neutralize odors
• Enzymatic treatments for organic residues
• Hydroxyl generators are emitting particles that bond with malodorous soot and change their chemical composition to eliminate smells.
