Can SERVPRO Eliminate Odors During Fire Restoration in Bristol Homes?

Removing odors from fire-damaged buildings is one of the toughest challenges for any restorer. Combating odor during fire restoration of your Bristol property requires a thorough understanding of the properties of the odor particles. 

With years of experience under their belt, SERVPRO techs have mitigated many kinds of odors during fire restoration of Bristol properties. We use a combination of strategies to deodorize fire-damaged properties based on the deodorant's interaction with odor-causing particles.  

How do Deodorizers Neutralize Odor During House Fire Cleanup in Bristol? 

The three most important ways in which a deodorizer can remove odor from your fire-damaged Bristol home include:

  • Masking the odor: Some deodorants cover the malodors with more pleasant scents rather than eliminating them. SERVPRO techs use this strategy to combat imaginary odors. 
  • Chemically transforming the odor particles: Some deodorants can combine with the odor-causing particles and alter their chemistry, rendering them odorless. Pairing agents, Ozone gas, and enzyme digesters work by this principle. 
  • Adsorbing the odor-causing molecules from the air: Air scrubbers fitted with charcoal filters work by adsorbing the airborne odor particles. Once the filters trap the odor-causing particle, the perceived intensity of the odor declines.  

Is it necessary to use multiple deodorization strategies? 

One of the ways to ensure that the deodorization process is efficient is to use multiple strategies rather than relying on any single one. SERVPRO techs often use a combination of pairing agents and air scrubbers to deal with odor in house fires that involve protein residues.
