Cutting-Edge Techniques for Tackling Persistent Smoke Damage Jul 07, 2025

Smoke damage can be an enduring challenge for homeowners and businesses alike. The lingering odors and soot residues can transform a space from welcoming to weary. At Newgen Restoration, we understand the complexities of dealing with smoke damage and employ cutting-edge techniques to restore spaces effectively. In this article, we'll explore the most advanced methods that are reshaping how smoke damage is addressed, ensuring that your environment feels safe and fresh once again.

The first step in tackling persistent smoke damage is a thorough assessment. Each scenario is unique, requiring a tailored approach depending on the source of the damage, whether from a house fire, wildfire smoke intrusion, or cigarette smoke. Newgen Restoration's technicians are trained to perform detailed inspections to determine the extent of smoke penetration. This meticulous evaluation allows us to formulate a comprehensive restoration plan that's both efficient and effective.

One of the groundbreaking techniques we utilize is thermal fogging. This method involves using a heated deodorizer that penetrates deep into walls, flooring, and furniture, mimicking the way smoke travels and settles. Thermal fogging neutralizes the smoke molecules at their source, rather than masking the odor temporarily. This technique is particularly effective for areas with deep-seated smoke damage, ensuring the elimination of odors that simple cleaning methods might miss.

Alongside thermal fogging, Newgen Restoration employs ozone treatment. This powerful process involves releasing ozone gas into the affected space, which breaks down odor-causing molecules and sterilizes the environment. Ozone treatment is especially useful in closed environments where smoke has been pervasive, such as basements or storage facilities. While the space must be evacuated during treatment for safety reasons, the results are remarkable, leaving behind a fresh, smoke-free atmosphere.

Another innovative solution we provide is the use of hydroxyl generators. These devices are the superheroes of air purification, capable of eliminating smoke odors without the need for evacuation. Safe for use around people, pets, and plants, hydroxyl generators produce hydroxyl radicals that naturally decompose a variety of airborne pollutants and odors. This technology allows for ongoing use in occupied spaces, making it ideal for businesses that cannot afford downtime during restoration.

Beyond creating a smoke-free environment, addressing smoke damage also involves meticulous cleaning techniques. Our team employs specialized HEPA vacuuming to remove soot particles from surfaces, followed by wet cleaning with specially formulated detergents that break down smoke residues. This two-step cleaning process ensures that both visible damage and microscopic pollutants are fully eradicated, restoring your property’s appearance and safety.

Educating our clients on post-restoration maintenance is another key aspect of our service. We provide guidance on odor prevention and mitigation strategies to ensure that once your space is restored, it remains that way. Regular airflow, using air purifiers, and maintaining a clean environment are simple yet effective practices in keeping smoke odors at bay.
