Thermal Fogging for Post-Housefire Smoke Odors in Miami

Deodorization is a vital component of the full-service restoration that we offer Miami homes and apartments. With the thousands and thousands of properties throughout the city, our restoration team needs effective and efficient solutions to stay prepared for whatever disaster is yet to come. Removing harsh smoke odors in a structure involves a combination of multiple tools and products, but our thermal foggers can often carry the brunt of this workload.

Understanding the deodorization process can help to appreciate the numerous machines and potent products involved in addressing fire damage and odor in Miami homes after a disaster. Our SERVPRO team has multiple options for removing odors from your damaged residence, some to reduce the severity of these conditions while some equipment can neutralize these present odors entirely. From the time that we arrive and begin mitigation, our professionals can:

    •    Remove fire debris to reduce the concentration of smoke and foul odors
    •    Begin controlled demolition on overly damaged surfaces to reduce odor severity
    •    Abrasive cleanings like soda blasting to remove carcinogens and soot
    •    Thermal fogging
    •    Hydroxyl generators
    •    Ozone machines

Thermal fogging is one of the most commonly used deodorization tools because of its versatility in a damaged area. By heating odor removal products to a mist/fog, we create a gaseous neutralizing compound that negates odor molecules on contact. This fine fog can penetrate affected porous materials and contents in the area as well, preventing an unnecessary removal and reinstallation of these surfaces at a later point.

Foggers are lightweight and mobile, making it easy to move the unit from one damaged area to another. Unlike ozone generators, our thermal fogging technology is not harmful to those in the immediate vicinity, making it a safe practice when fire damage does not force relocation.

While we have multiple solutions to reduce and remove harsh odors after a fire, one of the standard approaches for our SERVPRO of South Miami team is thermal fogging. However, we can help your home to look and smell better after a fire. We are here at (305) 269-8900 to make it “Like it never even happened.”
