Fire & Smoke Vehicle Restoration
Vehicle Fire And Smoke Damage
Juvenaire’s vehicle fire and smoke restoration service will address fire odour and soot contamination. During and after a fire, a foul odour is often emitted from a fire damaged vehicle. This is a result of chemicals from the burning materials being released into the atmosphere and being absorbed into the pores of the vehicle’s materials. Smoke odour can be very difficult to remove but is possible if treated correctly.
Similar to a property affected by fire, a vehicle exposed to fire and smoke will consist of soot residue permeating through all surfaces including seats, door panels, dashboard, wiring and carpets. The issues associated with a vehicle affected by fire and smoke is not only the residue left on all surfaces but the smoke odour that permeates into the porous materials. This smoke odour can be extremely difficult to remove.
A vehicle affected by fire, smoke or soot damage may require extensive decontamination which could include the removal of car seats and carpets. Then, thorough cleaning methods are employed to remove the soot source and ozone gas technology is used to remove lingering odours. Vehicles affected by fire, smoke and/or soot can be successfully restored back to pre-damage condition with the combination of the above-mentioned methods.
Juvenaire Fire And Smoke Restoration
Vehicle fire and smoke restoration involves a range of smoke deodorisation processes that can be used depending on the cause and conditions of the fire and smoke damage. On initial inspection, a Project Manager will assess and organise a Scope of Works that outlines the process for successful restoration of the motor vehicle as well as the elimination of any odours.
Following this, we employ thorough cleaning methods to remove the soot source and use ozone gas technology to remove lingering odours. This methodology can often restore a vehicle to its pre-loss condition.

There are two types of odours, “real odour” a pure sensation of smell transmitted to the brain and ‘psychological odour’ or ‘heightened awareness odour’ that people think they smell based on experience, suggestion and past experience. The latter is the most difficult odour to address for the restoration technician.
Odour can be difficult to eliminate. As such Vehicle assessment will take place on a case by case basis.

When water enters a motor vehicle, absorption of water into door linings, seats, carpets, the sub-floor, the dashboard and other soft furnishings can cause serious damage. If left untreated, water absorption can result in mould growth and can cause further damage. Time is of the essence and swiftly addressing a water impacted vehicle is paramount to its successful remediation.
