SERVPRO Combines Various Approaches When Deodorizing Properties to Guarantee the Right Outcome. 

The smells that build up in a property after fire incidents are uncomfortable. However, the processes needed to remove them can also present some challenges.  SERVPRO can deodorize your Oyster Bay property using the most convenient approaches.   

What challenges can I encounter during fire smoke odor cleanup at my Oyster Bay home? 

• Moisture damage to horizontal surfaces and contents when using water-based products   
• Some products, such as thermal foggers, are flammable and might reignite fires 
• Fogging agents can leave oily residues on surfaces 
• Stubborn odors may not go away easily 

Odor removal requires a proper understanding of the situation.  Odorous materials can be suspended in the air, deposited on the surface of materials, or deeply embedded in materials if they are porous. Our SERVPRO technicians recognize this, thus tackling the problem from different angles.  When cleaning surfaces and contents and surfaces affected by the fire, we mix water-based deodorizers with the cleaning solutions to remove odors from the surfaces.  We also ventilate the property using high-velocity air movers that can move 1000 to 3000 cubic feet of air, a minute, thus removing all the odor particles suspended in the air. 

How can I remove the odors embedded in materials? 

The odor you smell is made up of physical particles. However, they are small enough to penetrate deep into materials. There is a need to reach such particles and neutralize them to remove all traces of odors. The product or method used when deodorizing the area should easily penetrate the materials. Our SERVPRO technicians rely on: 

• Thermal foggers which reduce deodorizer particles to as little as 0.5 micron 
• ULV misters which produce 20-60 micron-sized deodorizer particles 
• Ozone generators and photocatalytic which produce free radicals that neutralize odor molecules 

With the right resources, cleaning up odors is not complicated. Call SERVPRO of Oyster Bay at (516) 464-3300 to help remove odor from your property, “Like it never even happened.”
