Ozone Treatment for Smoke Damage

After a fire occurs, the smoke damage left behind can often be more significant than the particular area where the fire took place. Smoke can linger and pose a health risk for those who reside in the space. In addition, smoke can be difficult to remove, and it can also circulate throughout your home through the duct system. This is why we often provide duct cleaning services as part of the fire damage restoration process. However, it can take more than an extensive cleaning to remove all signs of smoke and odor after fire damage. In these situations, SERVPRO of Manayunk & Chestnut Hill provides an ozone treatment to fully destroy all smoke particles in the air from the affected areas.

Ozone treatments are used when nicotine or other offensive odors require a high strength solution to rid a home of the issue. The treatment involves trapping the air in an enclosed space. Using electricity, the oxygen in the air is altered to form ozone. The ozone then attaches to the odor and eliminates it in all forms.

This specialty treatment is necessary in some cases of fire damage, but it should only be performed by a certified professional. Ozone is dangerous to inhale, so it is critical to not enter the space where it is being used, which is typically for a 24-hour time period.

SERVPRO of Manayunk & Chestnut Hill’s smoke damage services vary based on your needs, but we always treat your home and content with your concerns in mind. Our advanced equipment, expertise and treatments allow our fire damage restoration team to help restore your property to preloss conditions quickly.
