    Smoke Damage Cleanup Tips for Gilbert Homeowners

    The Stubborn Nature of Smoke Odor

    Long after a fire is put out, the smell of smoke remains. Smoke particles are microscopic and can penetrate deep into drywall, carpets, upholstery, and even the wood framing of your home. Masking the smell with air fresheners will not work.

    Professional Odor Removal Techniques

    • Thermal Fogging: This process recreates the heat and pressure of the fire, opening up the pores of the wood and drywall, and forcing a neutralizing chemical into the exact same spaces the smoke particles penetrated.
    • Ozone Treatments: Ozone gas alters the chemical composition of smoke molecules, permanently neutralizing the odor. (Note: This must be done in an unoccupied home).
    • HVAC Cleaning: Smoke gets sucked into your ductwork. If the ducts aren't professionally cleaned and sealed, your A/C will blow smoke smell through the house every time it turns on.

    Trust Tri Point Services to permanently eliminate smoke odors from your Gilbert home.
