Specialized Techniques by Trained Fire Damage Experts Help Eliminate Smoke Odors in Your Danbury Commercial Building

If your commercial property catches fire, calling in the help of skilled technicians ensures you can get back up and running sooner. When you enlist SERVPRO to assist with restoration, we start the cleanup right away. Doing so helps limit damages and the onset of foul odors known to linger when left to fester for too long.

Are There Ways I Can Address Fire and Odor On My Own?
For any commercial fire damage in Danbury, our IICRC-certified technicians have not only the experience and the training to get the job done, but also a range of professional equipment. We arrive on the scene to assess the damage once emergency personnel deems the building safe to enter. To expedite the restoration and make sure that your interior is free of smoke particles and sticky soot, our crew will:

    •    Remove all debris and sources of odor, including unsalvageable contents and charred materials.
    •    Carefully clean any surface areas blanketed with tiny odor-causing particles. Every room in your building gets checked to determine how far the residue and particles traveled.
    •    We recreate the conditions that caused odor penetration by imparting deodorizing agents in the same way that the smoke and soot came into contact with each surface.
    •    Surfaces exposed to malodors may get sealed off, if necessary. This includes sealing the surfaces of ducts and painting walls.

If any of the wooden studs in your building present with charring, our technicians may remove the char using soda blasting, dry ice blasting, or steel scrub brushes. Once the charred portion gets removed, we can then seal or refinish the studs.
