Harsh smoke smells can be formidable to overcome in fire-damaged Newark properties.

While there are many threatening elements to fire damages, few can have far-reaching implications and impact as smoke odors. We work quickly to provide several mitigation and restoration solutions for fire-damaged homes.

Counteracting Measures Reduce Odor Severity

Addressing odors during the earliest fire damage restoration for Newark homes means applying counteractant products and efforts to the situation. While we have equipment like thermal foggers to reduce the severity of circulating smells, specific actions taken early in the mitigation phases, such as debris removal, can directly impact the concentrations of malodors.

Neutralizing Odor Damage

While the objective is usually to remove these overwhelming smells where possible, this might be a challenge in porous materials. Instead, we utilize products like odor-sealing primers to trap molecules within the pores of affected materials without concerns of resurfacing later.

Deodorization of Harsh Smells with Tools

One of the final steps in removing harsh odors from the property is using our deodorization equipment. When combined with potent counteracting products and cleaning agents, odor neutralizing equipment in our inventory can significantly impact the environment. In most cases, specific tools can nearly entirely remove the presence of smoke odors. Some of these tools include:

• HEPA Air Scrubbers
• ULV Foggers
• Hydroxyl Machines

One of the more challenging aspects of fire damage restoration is the removal of harsh odors after extinguishment occurs. The combustion of specific materials can create toxic environments, or at the very least, leave overwhelming smells in living spaces that make comfortable conditions impossible.
