Even a small house fire can have far-reaching complications in your home in the form of costly smoke damage. Even long after firefighters extinguish the blaze, smoke threatens your home by permeating all of the books and corners of the impacted rooms. You need professional cleaning assistance to manage the staining, odors, and harsh combustion byproducts.
Types of Residual Smoke Damage
Fire damage restoration for Concord homes involves how the disaster impacted the living space. Smoke damage effects can appear in many forms.
-
Soot Residues: Soot can be a chalky or thick, greasy residue that settles on surfaces throughout the house after a fire.
-
Smoke Odors: Smoke odors can settle into carpeting clothing and linger after a fire is extinguished.
-
Chemical Contaminants: Byproducts of burning plastics and synthetics can create a formidable obstacle in the form of chemicals like acrolein and ammonia.
-
Structural Staining: Smoke solids from fire can penetrate wood, drywall, and insulation, causing discoloration that conventional surface cleaning cannot remove.
The Process of Restoration due to Lingering Smoke Damage
-
Assessment & Inspection: The premises have to be checked thoroughly. Experts find the complete damage caused by smoke and soot and decide on the correct cleaning and restoration methodology.
-
Smoke and Soot Removal: Advanced equipment removes smoke and soot residues from walls, ceilings, and flooring. Our team utilizes air scrubbers, industrial vacuums, and special cleaning agents to safely draw out the soot and debris from surfaces without causing further damage.
-
Deodorization: We deodorize smoke at its source with ozone machines, air purifiers, and thermal fogging.
-
Chemical Removal: Special cleaning products neutralize dangerous substances on the surface and fabrics, making your home safe for occupants.
