Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration

As we all know, fire and smoke damage is dangerous for your home and your health. Fire damage to your home can render it unsafe to live in. Smoke and odor can remain on your clothes, walls and in your ducts and continually breathing it in can be harmful to your health. It is important to restore any fire and smoke damage as soon as possible to ensure proper and complete restoration and the best results.

It is understandable that you want to begin cleaning as soon as you can, however, it is important to seek professional help first, because the work that you do may impede proper restoration later. A professional has the equipment, cleaning agents/methods, and skills needed to restore your home from the damage. The work that is best left to professionals include:

  • Dry out: if the fire was put out with water the walls, flooring and other part of the home will be wet. To prevent further damage, these need to be thoroughly dried with professional equipment.
  • Soot cleaning: cleaning soot off walls and upholstery yourself can cause further damage if not done correctly. A professional will be able to determine the ideal method to completely clean the soot.
  • Remove smoke odor: smoke can permeate walls and fabrics constantly emitting an odor. In order to effectively and permanently remove the odor, the smoke molecules need to broken up before they can be washed out. A professional will have the skills and the cleaning agents needed in order to do this.
  • Duct cleaning: smoke and soot will likely get into your air ducts and be spread around the house every time you turn on the heat or air conditioning. Ducts need to be completely cleaned to ensure that you are not breathing in soot for months after.
  • Damage repair: a fire will more than likely affect the structural integrity of your home. A professional will be able to find areas that have been damaged and repair them back to being safe

These services are just a part of the total cleaning process following fire or smoke damage. With the lengths needed to be taken to ensure a proper restoration it is clear to see why calling on a professional restoration company is important.
