How to Get Rid of That Smoke Smell-Thermal Fogging

1/11/2021 (Permalink)

When fires occur, the smell of smoke can be the most lasting damage. Think of the last time you fried chicken or french fries. Now, think about the smell of wood smoke at a campfire!

SERVPRO of Paducah & Mayfield uses many techniques to combat smoke damage. One such technique is thermal fogging - a process by which small particles are created to mimic smoke. These "smoke" particles are deodorized and penetrate the tiny spaces (fabric, cracks in walls, etc) where smoke particles might have been absorbed. The above image shows thermal fogging being used in a church where a small fire began and created significant smoke damage.

It's also important to match the sources of the odor. When the odor-causing source was smoke, then a "smoke" treatment with matching additives can be applied. The same procedure is used if the source is a grease fire, or a plastic fire, etc.
