Odor Elimination Is a Vital Part of Fire Damage Restoration at Your Sevierville Restaurant

Although a smoky aroma can be a delicious enhancement to a meal at your Sevierville, only when the smell matches the chef’s preparation and the diner’s expectation. A kitchen fire usually knocks down quickly in an establishment outfitted with sprinklers and extinguishers according to local code. Our team attends to the firefighting water removal and general debris and soot removal fast.

What’s That Smell?

As you move toward the expected Sevierville reopening, one fire damage issue remains. Sevierville diners prefer the smells wafting from the remediated kitchen to be savory and appetite-inducing, not sharing a pungent stench. One of the challenges of the protein-based fires in commercial kitchens is the overwhelming malodor that can linger even after a thorough cleaning. You want your guests to wonder about aromas with anticipation, not repugnance.

Thorough and Repeated Cleaning

The fine mist of grease and proteins created in a kitchen blaze is like no other fire soiling. As SERVPRO deodorization experts consider the alternatives, we remember that smell elimination is a perfect example of the adages “one step forward, two steps back” and “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Deodorization requires persistence and often many different attempts to remove the odor-bearing particles. If debris removal and various attempts at cleaning, we might suggest other options.

Recreating the Fire Conditions

Thermal fogging works by combusting deodorants in a heated chamber, reducing the substance into microscopic particles that then pair with the odor-bearing particles to neutralize them. SERVPRO crews plan to use axial fans (venting box fans) after the fogging to clear the space. 

Hydroxyl Generators

Another innovation SERVPRO uses for odor elimination is a machine called a hydroxyl generator. Using the same UV radiation as provided by the sun, the equipment produces radicals that naturally indoor environments like your restaurant. Hydroxyl radicals decompose chemicals in the air, including the smelly residues after a protein fire. Their molecular structure alters in such a way that the odor is no longer perceptible.
