Smoke odor removal in historic homes requires specialized techniques because older materials absorb odors differently than modern construction. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and professional-grade equipment to penetrate deep into wood, plaster, and other porous materials.
Our process includes complete HVAC cleaning since smoke travels through ductwork and can recontaminate cleaned areas. We also seal affected surfaces with odor-blocking products before final restoration.
We don’t finish until odor testing confirms your home is completely smoke-free. Many companies skip this verification step, but it’s essential for your comfort and property value.
Fire creates multiple damage types simultaneously—heat damage, smoke damage, soot damage, plus water damage from firefighting. Each requires different restoration techniques and specialized equipment.
