House Fire Odors in Teaneck Are Long Gone after a SERVPRO Mitigation

Call SERVPRO For Fire Damage and Odor Control Services in Your Teaneck Home  

Fire damage is usually apparent, characterized by the black soot stains in your home and the charred bits of your belongings that are left behind. However, even after the fire damage is remediated and cleaned, aspects of the damage can linger in your home if they are not adequately addressed. Specifically, nullifying the scent of fire is an essential step during the remediation process.

The malodor left behind by the fire damage inside of your Teaneck home can make it impossible for you to move on, and to forget about the event. Every other aspect of the fire damage may have been successfully remediated, but if the scent remains behind, it can make breathing in your home difficult to bear. Because of this, it is always wise to hire a remediation company that also tackles the smoke odors.
 
SERVPRO can use several devices to combat the smoke damage inside of your home, all of which are designed to target the malodor and neutralize it. When you reach out to us, SERVPRO always makes an effort to come to your home as swiftly as we possibly can. We understand that we are more likely to achieve successful remediation if we can access the damage as soon as possible.
 
As SERVPRO cleans the remnants of soot, grime, and charred bits out of your home, we have several options that we can choose from to ensure that the odor is also taken care of. If the fire damage inside of your home was significant enough to cause a move-out, we could use an Ozone Machine, a device of which requires the house to empty for a certain length of time while being used. However, we could also use hydroxyl generators or thermal foggers to address the scent. What we cannot address, is the phenomenon called phantosmia--the phantom odors--that residents sense because of the fire-damaging experience.
 
For your home in particular, since the damage was successfully contained to a small corner of your bedroom, SERVPRO can use a thermal fogger to address the foul scent. The fogger dispenses a vaporized chemical, the "fog," and that cloud traps any odor-causing particles and neutralizes them. After the device has done its work, your home can officially be free of all aspects of the damage that occurred inside. "Like it never even happened."
 
If your home requires fire odor remediation, never wait. Reach out to and speak with SERVPRO of Teaneck / Englewood by phoning (201) 266-0482. Day or night, we can address the damage in your home.
