Thermal Fogging

10/23/2024 (Permalink)

Thermal fogging is an effective method of deodorization following fire and smoke damage.

SERVPRO of Des Moines SW & East performed thermal fogging services at a school after a fire caused smoke and soot damage throughout the building. Thermal fogging allows for a heated deodorizer to be sprayed in fog form to absorb smoke particles and eliminate smoke odors. Similar to the behavior of smoke, the deodorizer fog is able to reach all cracks and crevices and permeate materials such as walls, carpeting and more. This makes it an effective method of deodorization following fire and smoke damage.

With trained professionals, specialized equipment and premiere cleaning products, SERVPRO® is Here to Help®. SERVPRO of Des Moines SW & East offers 24-hour emergency services and prioritizes customer satisfaction.

Hydroxyl vs Ozone Machines

2/13/2017 (Permalink)

Hydroxyl and Ozone machines both work to eliminate lingering odors, gases, and organic pollutants from the air. We are lucky to have both types of machines.  We put them in homes and businesses to remove pet odor, smoke odor, odor from mold, cooking odor, etc.  There are benefits and draw backs to both types of machines. 

Hydroxyl machines are able to run with living things in the same room.  They remove odor slower then when using ozone machines but you can live and work around a running hydroxyl machine.  Ozone machines can not run with living organisms in the same space.  Ozone machines will work in a few hours where a hydroxyl will need to run for a few days depending on the extent of the odor.  Ozone machines can also bleach wet fabrics and effect rubber. 

Depending on the type of odor you have we will chose the best type of equipment to work best to eliminate the smell.
