Ozone machines are quickly becoming the preferred method for eliminating odours after a fire.

To ensure both effective odour removal and the safety of occupants, precise monitoring equipment is essential for regulating ozone levels. The pungent odours often associated with fire damage stem not solely from the fire itself, but also from its aftermath. Water used to extinguish flames can contribute significantly to the problem by spreading bacteria, mould, fungus, chemicals, and smoke residue. A potent oxidizing agent is required to neutralize these odour-causing substances. Ozone stands out as the ideal solution due to its exceptional oxidizing power and its unique properties of being dry and residue-free.

Fire damage smells/odours – ozone machines

At the start of the treatment for fire, more odours are present and when ozone is introduced, the reaction is extensive, resulting in a low initial level of ozone. As the treatment progresses, the ozone level will begin to increase because there are fewer odour molecules to oxidize and the odour level will decrease. After a period of hours, the ozone level will reach its maximum value. After this point is reached, the ozone treatment should be continued for a period of time to destroy lingering odours.
