Proper drying techniques should result in achieving optimum relative humidity inside the building and the hygrometer is an excellent way to monitor progress. The resulting fire left extensive damage to the roof structure on one side of the building and smoke infiltrated the dining and bar areas inside. Will Steiner, Managing Partner of the restaurant, and Brian McDonagh, Manager, sprang into action immediately. Mr. Steiner knew that by setting the wheels in motion as early as possible he could save valuable time and have crews ready to begin work at dawn. Complete and proper fire restoration typically requires the use of both Ozone Deodorization and Themogen Fog, since they each have specific uses in neutralizing the effects of smoke.
Construction materials consist of a variety of both natural and synthetic building products.
Since the combustion of these various materials gives off different gasses and leaves different types of soot residue and smoke odor, both methods of deodorization are critical. The doors opened on schedule at 4pm. Thanks to Will Steiner and Brian McDonagh of Outback Steakhouse for the opportunity to be a part of the team. Usually the first step in fire restoration, Thermogen Fog treatment is a process by which a petroleum based liquid deodorizer is heated and dispersed as a vapor to encapsulate and neutralize the smoke odor molecules. The molecules in the fog are smaller than those comprising smoke and will trace the path of the smoke during the fire, penetrating structural components and contents and yielding excellent results.
