Thermal fogging for odor

Fire & Smoke

Note Attached

IICRC S700

Thermal fogging performed to neutralize residual smoke odor after surface cleaning. Deodorizer selected based on the type of combustion residue present ([protein / synthetic / natural]). Fogging is performed in sealed conditions to allow the agent to penetrate porous materials and concealed cavities, consistent with IICRC S700 guidance for odor remediation following fire loss. Verify against the current published edition of IICRC S700.

Soot cleaning - HEPA vacuum and chemical sponge

Note Attached

Affected surfaces cleaned using HEPA vacuum followed by chemical (dry) sponge to remove loose soot prior to any wet cleaning. The two-step dry process is necessary to prevent smearing and to address dry, friable soot before introducing moisture, which can drive residue deeper into porous materials. Standard practice for surfaces with visible soot deposition following fire and smoke loss.
