Rental Property Fire Odors

3/10/2022 (Permalink)

When your rental property suffers from a fire, once all of the water and fire damage is cleaned up you’re still left with a property infested with the terrible smell of smoke lingering on everything. Getting rid of smells can be a difficult task as the smoke permeates lots of surfaces and gets absorbed and stuck within walls, carpets, home belongings, and more. Without a professional’s experience the task can seem almost impossible to address.

Give us a call at SERVPRO of Chesterfield and SERVPRO of Tri-Cities, Plus and let our trained team of technicians take care of it for you. Continue reading below for some steps that are taken by our team to help make your properties livable again.

• First, proper air flow is crucial in order to get all the lingering particles in the air out of the building. Open windows and fans help move the air around and drive out the foul smell.
• All contaminated fabrics should be removed and cleaned using different techniques identified by our team of professionals based on the materials they’re made up of.
• Walls, ceilings, and other surfaces in the house are washed carefully to help ensure that there is nothing left over to cause any more odor and, in some cases, may also even be repainted.
• A duct and HVAC cleaning must also be done to prevent any hidden or invisible particles from within them from spreading around the property again after the cleaning has been done.

As you can see, there odor mitigation can be a lengthy and intensive process but, we at SERVPRO are here to help every step of the way.
