Soot & Odor

Soot, Smoke Odor & Specialized Removal in Chester, MD

The visible soot on Chester, MD walls and ceilings is just a fraction of the contamination after a fire. If it isn't removed from all penetrated surfaces simultaneously, the smell returns within weeks and the invisible health risk persists indefinitely.

Fire Damage Doption uses a multi-technology approach to smoke odor that attacks the compounds on every surface and in every void. Air fresheners, candles, and single-pass fogger treatments do not eliminate smoke odor. They mask it temporarily while the underlying contamination continues.

  • Ozone therapy that reaches smoke compounds in walls, floors, and hidden cavities of Chester, MD homes
  • Hydroxyl technology that works continuously in occupied spaces across Chester, MD
  • Thermal fog reaching every odor particle in hard-to-access areas of your Chester, MD property
