Fire Odors and Your Business

SERVPRO keeps your Lake Charles business smelling fresh

Any business owner who has suffered a fire in their store knows that dealing with leftover smells is one of the most challenging parts of remediation. Smoke smells can linger for a long time after the blaze is extinguished.

SERVPRO understands that fire damage smells in your Lake Charles business are not welcoming for customers or staff. That is why we take care of deodorization as part of our remediation process.

Many factors affect the intensity of odors, such as the fire's temperature, the type of material burned in it, and damaged surfaces' porosity. The steps for proper deodorization include:

• Removing the source of the odor, such as removing charred materials from your premises.
• Cleaning smoke-damaged surfaces by wiping and scrubbing away soot.
• Using deodorizing equipment such as foggers, air scrubbers, spot cleaning spray, and odor removing pellets to trap bad smells.
• Sealing surfaces if necessary.

We aim to leave your store smelling as fresh, so the fire will be "Like it never even happened."
