Exchanging Odor-Causing Particles from Fire Damage with Clean Air in your Rocky Point Home

It is usual for homeowners to want property restoration after a fire to come as quickly as possible. Emergencies like these can put a significant strain on a household. It can be tough to find time between working hours to perform the deep cleaning required to return home back to a preloss condition. Unfortunately, fires can occur at any time with disregard for your everyday life. Passing on the restoration duties to a professional company, you can free up your own time as well as be sure that the work is both comprehensive and efficient.

Even after extensive cleaning of fire damage in your Rocky Point home, odors can persist. Odor-causing particles are microscopic. While opening windows and ventilating a space with fans can help to reduce odor, you may find it persists after several days. In these events, you may be better off seeking a professional restorer like SERVPRO to carry out odor control in your home. Odor comes from a variety of sources, and the equipment you need to deal with it is highly technical.

Since the cause of the odor is a particle, one effective method of fire odor control is by removing these particles. Similar to opening windows or ventilating a space, the removal of odor particles is achievable by exchanging indoor air with cleaner air. If there are limits to ventilation options, such as in hallways or other enclosed spaces, SERVPRO can use air-scrubbing equipment.

Air scrubbers use negative air pressure to pull indoor air through a series of filters. Advanced equipment features high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that can capture odor-causing particles as they pass through, depositing clean air into the affected area. Some HEPA grade filters use charcoal to filter particles as small as 0.3 microns from a space. In larger areas, our box fans can churn a massive amount of air through the room, exchanging the complete volume of indoor air up to sixty times in a short period.

Restoring your indoor air quality is paramount to dealing with unpleasant odors. Contact SERVPRO of Port Jefferson at (631) 476-5300 to arrange for a qualified odor control technician.
