Combating Odors in Fire-Damaged Homes  

Managing odors after a fire incident in your Newport home can be challenging. SERVPRO techs use their chemistry and material science knowledge to combat the lingering odors after fire damage. 

We use a combination of techniques and equipment to neutralize the odor-causing molecules. Some of the most common methods we employ include: 

• Pressure/ electric sprayer: SERVPRO techs use these sprayers to dispense deodorizing chemicals at about 50 psi. The pressure causes the chemical to convert into a fine mist, neutralizing odors on surfaces, fabrics, and carpets. 
• Ozone generators: These machines chemically alter odor molecules to neutralize them. They generate ozone, an unstable oxygen derivative that combines with and neutralizes odor-causing molecules. 
• Photocatalytic oxidizer: Hydroxyl radicals (OH-) are powerful oxidizers that chemically neutralize even the toughest odor-causing molecule. SERVPRO tech uses these machines to generate hydroxyl radicals using UV light and titanium dioxide. Once released in the air, these radicals combine with odor molecules, converting them to carbon dioxide and water.  
• Air Scrubbers: We use air scrubbers to remove airborne particles from the air. These are specialized air purifiers that use HEPA filters to capture particles. Air scrubbers also contain charcoal and potassium permanganate filters to remove various odors through adsorption. 

Thermal Foggers in Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration and Cleanup 

SERVPRO techs use thermal foggers to generate a “smoke” or fog of deodorizer particles. Foggers are especially effective in neutralizing odor particles trapped in porous surfaces. The particles generated by thermal foggers are similar in size to odor-generating molecules, enabling them to interact more effectively and neutralize them.
