Q: What is ozone smoke removal and is it effective?

• <div><p>Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive and unstable gas that effectively neutralizes smoke odors through a process called oxidation. It 'donates' its extra oxygen molecule to the organic compounds causing the smell, altering their structure and eliminating the odor, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. This method can be effective on building materials and furniture. However, because improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health, this treatment is best left to a professional.</p></div>

Q: Can a fire-damaged house be repaired?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, a fire-damaged house can be repaired. The only exception would be if a house fire leads to major structural damage.
