Smoke odor from the various types of fire damage, such as cooking mishaps, smoking, furnace puff backs, or electrical malfunctions, creates a smoke residue that can be impossible to remove without professional-grade equipment and specialized cleaning supplies. As an IICRC Certified firm, SERVPRO of Dane County West has the training and specialized equipment and products to restore all types of fire damage. 

Depending on the smoke odor and the type of smoke damage, such as protein residue, dry smoke, fuel/oil residue, and wet smoke, there are different ways to clean and eliminate the smoke damage and smoke odor. 

The following professional-grade products, listed below, are commonly used by SERVPRO of Dane County West to mitigate fire damage:

  • Hydroxyl Generators - Hydroxyls work primarily by abstracting hydrogen atoms, thereby dismantling the molecular structure of odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Powerful hydroxyl generators using the same broad range of UV radiation as the sun are now used to naturally clean and deodorize indoor environments.
  • Ozone Machine - Used to oxidize organic odors such as smoke, pet odors, mildew, organic pollutants, and more without chemicals.
  • Air Scrubbers and Negative Air Machines - Air Scrubbers are used for cleaning and controlling air quality and creating negative pressure in a work area. How It Works: Air enters the unit and passes through a three-stage filtration process that captures smoke, fumes, mold spores, dust, and odor-causing particulates. O
  • Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) Foggers will atomize liquid deodorizing agents, producing a fine mist that easily penetrates sites where odor-causing residues accumulate. 
  • Thermal Foggers dispense solvent-based products in large volume, dense fogs suitable for confined areas. The fog consists of tiny particles of deodorant solution that pair with and neutralize odor-causing particles.
  • Ultra Sonic Cleaning Machines - Ultrasonic sound waves produce millions of microscopic bubbles that form and collapse, creating a gentle implosion and vacuum called cavitation to clean and restore items.  
  • Dry Soot Chemical Sponge - A natural rubber sponge designed to remove soot from fires in a dry state. The porous cells of the sponge lift soot from surfaces quickly without smearing.
  • Dry Ice Blasting - Dry ice cleaning is a "green" process that uses small pellets of recycled carbon dioxide to clean a surface. The pellets sublimate (turn from solid directly to gas) during the cleaning process. That rapid change in state from solid to gas causes microscopic shock waves that assist in removing contaminants. Dry ice blasting for fire damage restoration is non-abrasive, non-conductive, and nonflammable. Dry ice blasting generates no additional waste or secondary contamination like media and water blasting can.
  • Professional Grade Smoke Cleaning/Deodorizer Products –SERVPRO Industries, LLC has a chemical division dedicated to developing products specifically designed to clean fire-damaged contents. From floors to ceilings, SERVPRO has a cleaning product for that.
