One of the worst side effects of fire damage in your New York residence can be the lingering smoke odor. Smoke smell can quickly spread in the house and hang in the air for hours or days. You must have experienced this during cooking when a dish got burned accidentally. Imagine what fire and smoke damage can do in this case. Scented candles or room fresheners will not work. The smell must be removed permanently through an intensive cleanup with special techniques and tools. These jobs should be left to disaster restoration experts. Zicklin Contracting caters to emergency requirements in Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, and Westchester County. Within an hour, our response team can reach you with help.

 

Smoke odor removal is integral to fire damage restoration in New York. Our smoke damage repair steps start with an initial inspection before applying any resolutions because different types of odors demand different approaches.

Smoke odor inspection

Complete combustion leads to smoke, soot, gas, and oil accumulation. Volatile molecules emitted from burned materials, such as wood, cotton, nylon, plastic, meat, etc., can cause a pungent smell. These helps identify the smoke type as wet, dry, or protein.

  • Wet smoke: Rubber, plastic, or any other sticky or heavy flammable material can cause wet smoke. To eliminate moisture from a smoke-damaged room, we can use air movers, dehumidifiers, and other disinfection methods.
  • Dry smoke: Paper and wood can be involved in this. This type of smoke is lighter and easier to manage. Meticulous cleaning processes and air purifiers can help cleanse the air.
  • Protein smoke: Organic materials like food can lead to this type of smoke, which can be challenging to remove. To achieve a successful result, we can use thermal fogging or ozone treatments.

Smoke odor removal methods used after a fire

Our fire restoration professionals will dispose of non-salvageable contents, including drywall, cabinets, furniture, etc. Exteriors and interiors will be tactfully washed and rinsed depending on the level of smoke damage. Air ducts will be restored. To tackle odor, we can do the following:

  • Use HEPA air scrubbers to remove airborne particulates and odors from the air.
  • Apply fogging techniques to interact and destroy odorous molecules. It helps modify the fragrance.
  • Deodorize the affected areas and surfaces to spread vaporized aromatic compound in the air and improve indoor air quality.
  • Neutralize odorous molecules by infusing more oxygen and purifying the air.
