Odour Control
Strong odours normally follow every fire incident. Chemicals are released when materials within a
property begin to burn. These chemicals fill the atmosphere and release a strong odour which gets
absorbed and trapped into the pores of building materials and contents.

If not treated using proper techniques, these chemical resi-
dues in the form of smoke and soot may cause health issues.
Detailed cleaning of the building structure and its contents
is essential for the removal of the odour.

Juvenaire’s technicians are trained with the most advanced
processes and specialty restoration equipment to ensure
the property is odour free.

Chemicals causing odours are absorbed
and trapped into the pores of building
materials and contents.

Smoke residue from the fire can cause extensive damage to contents, which if not dealt with
quickly can cause permanent odour, staining and corrosion.

Fire and Smoke
Importance of Immediate Action
It is important to get in touch with a Juve-
naire project manager as soon as possible
for an effective fire restoration process.
As fire damage restoration is a complex
process, it is vital that nothing is touched or
attempted to be cleaned.

Hard Contents Cleaning
The Fireline Ultrasonics Cleaning System uses cavitation technology as a method of cleaning hard
contents that have suffered fire, water, sewage and mould contamination.
Ultrasonic cavitation is a technique that uses high frequency sound waves to agitate water, generating
bubbles.
These bubbles enlarge and then implode, producing millions of microscopic jets of liquid that gently
remove contaminants embedded on hard contents.
The process is efficient and yields consistent results. With the Ultra-
sonic Cleaning System, Juvenaire has the ability to restore and recover
a continually expanding list of previously unrecoverable items.

Contents Restoration Ensures:
• Less landfill
• Environmental sustanability
• Restoration of sentimental items
