How to Get the Smell Out of Your Home After Fire Damage

The smell of smoke is often triggering to many homeowners. After a significant house fire, that same smell can permeate each room. It settles into the furniture, the carpeting, and your clothing. It seems to follow you wherever you go. And that’s not all – smoke odor contamination is downright harmful to your health. Something must be done about smoke odors after a fire – and you can get it done, because professional smoke odor removal is but a phone call away. It’s the easiest, surest way to remove unwanted smoke smells from your home, apartment, or business!

Cleaning Smoke Odors

Just about everything in your home can be affected by smoke odors. That means to do the job right, everything must be professionally cleaned. Certain items do require specific cleaning methods, though. For example, some of your possessions may require nothing more than a thorough airing to remove the smoke smell. Items such as carpeting, curtains, upholstery, and clothing, however, will require far more thorough cleaning and sanitization.

When it comes to removing smoke odors from your property and possessions, trust in Restoration 1 of Mohave County. We have the equipment and know-how to remove unwanted odors from your property and goods. Our technicians will ensure that the smoke smell and residue are completely removed, even from deep within the very fibers of your favorite pieces of clothing.

HVAC System

Typically, your home’s heating and air conditioning system is designed to provide comfort and a constant flow of fresh air into the house. After a fire, however, your HVAC system works against you. The same ductwork that once blew cool air into each room is now an easy path for smoke odors and soot residue to travel and further infect your home.

You’ll definitely need to clean the HVAC system. You see, long after the fire has been extinguished, the ductwork will prove troublesome. The smoke will sit in every corner of the air ducts. It will linger and the smell will worsen. Again, with the proper equipment, a professional can complete this task relatively easily.

Furthermore, the entire HVAC system must be examined closely for signs of damage due to the fire itself. If the unit has noticeable damage, you do not want to operate it. An HVAC professional can handle the inspection, while a restoration expert can handle the cleanup.

Removing smoke odor from your home or business after a fire sounds like a lot of work. It can be overwhelming, especially after dealing with the fire itself. But it’s a process, and you can get through it. To get it done, put your faith in tested professionals with vast experience. You’ll find that those unwanted odors can be removed from your property, and the entire ordeal can be put behind you.
