What Equipment is Used to Remove Smoke Residue and Odor in Antioch?

1/10/2023 (Permalink)

Smoke alerts a smoke detector in a home. We restore smoke damage quickly and efficiently in Lake County.

Antioch residents need to know about these services.

Our local team in Northwest Lake County restores smoke damage using a variety of cleaning methods, techniques, and specialized equipment. The smoke residue leaves a unique signature based on what burned in the fire, so we pretest every item before cleaning to ensure we are using the most effective cleaning method. Here are some examples of the equipment we use to restore smoke damage:

  • Air Scrubber or Filter: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system air scrubber or HEPA air purifier captures larger smoke molecules. There will still be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.
  • Ozone Generator: An ozone generator is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.
  • Thermal Fogging: An intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors, and then they ventilate the area.
  • Hydroxyl Generator:These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.
  • Vapor Modification: This odor elimination method relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor.
