We get the initial call and dispatch our team out to handle the fire damage and smoke damage in your home. 

Throughout the mitigation process, we will explain how the odor penetrates material in your home and how we reduce the smoke odor in your home!

So, what factors help odors penetrate?

• Surface porosity
  For surface porosity, the more porous a material, the more likely it is to absorb odors i.e. carpet, carpet pad, insulation

• Heat
  Heat from fire causes materials to expand which allow odors to penetrate. Materials that cool down after the fire end up trapping odors within the material

So, how do we reduce smoke odor?

• Air scrubbers
  Air scrubbers capture airborne microorganisms and eliminate surface microorganism and effectively aid in the filtration and cleaning of the airspace
