Why SERVPRO Uses Different Approaches to Combat Odors Caused by Fire Damage in Coram Residences

The variety of materials inside your home contain a mixture of different substances. Each substance is based on organic matter, synthetic products, or a metal. When a fire happens, the assortment of things that burn result in different kinds of smoke that stream throughout your Coram home. Many synthetics melt before burning, causing them to produce gases instead of, or along with, visible smoke. By-products of fire can cause health effects in occupants.

This is why SERVPRO mitigates houses in Coram to eliminate smoke odors by focusing on their sources. Doing so requires us to rely on multiple techniques. One cause of noxious odors that devastate a home come from the thousands of small droplets that fizzle out from plastics and rubber items as they melt or burn. SERVPRO's Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) certified technicians clean away these droplets from the surfaces in your home during part of the normal mitigation process. However, this only takes care of one source of bothersome smells.

The air can become filled with vapors, gases, and particulate matter during a blaze, and these continue to pollute the air long after the fire gets extinguished. SERVPRO uses Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) recommended practices in the use of different machines to extract these, and subsequently, associated odors, from out of your property. 

IICRC-approved methods regarding odor control also include using powerful and long-lasting agents that overpower stagnant odors, which works well with mystery odors or those that seem to come from everywhere. While you might want to use store-bought sprays and timed air fresheners, these do not provide adequate coverage compared to the ones we use. 

Our building services department further helps reduce bad odors and what causes them by removing fire-damaged materials like blackened walls and melted carpet and then reinstalling new components. Other services, like electronics repair, help our customers recover more fully, faster, and with less expense after a fire, than people who do not use qualified services.
