Harsh Lingering Odors After a Fire Can Make Ordinary Life a Challenge. 

Often property owners hesitate to call in professionals to mitigate the damage caused by a blaze. After several days, the still lingering malodors shout out to the owners, “You waited too long!”

Restoring your Bloomingdale home or business after fire damage can be a considerable challenge for even experienced fire restoration technicians like ours. There are multiple stages and phases of fire restoration, beginning with the earliest emergency services to reduce loss and protect the home's contents. After a fire loss incident, one of the lingering effects is harsh odors typically left to the final stages of restoration, which can require multiple approaches and products to overcome.

How Can Fire and Smoke Odors Get Eliminated? 

Combustion can leave many areas of your home contending with harsh, noxious odors. Depending on the material burned, these smells can also contain toxins or contaminants to complicate conditions further. Often air scrubbers and HEPA filtration products can remove these contaminants and particles from the environment, leaving the deodorization of lingering odors to:

• Ozone machines
• Hydroxyl generators
• Foggers

Fire odors can be an obstacle for your home. Our SERVPRO of Carol Stream / East Bloomingdale team can help when you call (630) 830-6236.
