What Does Smoke Damage Restoration Involve?

Smoke damage restoration is a detailed process that addresses the smoke residue, soot, and unpleasant odors left behind after a fire or other incident. It goes beyond simply cleaning visible soot.

We use a variety of techniques, including the following:

• Safety assessment: We assess your property for potential safety hazards, including lingering smoke inhalation risks and electrical damage.
• Cleaning and deodorization: Walls, ceilings, furniture, and belongings are thoroughly cleaned to remove soot particles and lingering smoke odors. This may involve specialized cleaning solutions, smoke foggers, and air-scrubbing techniques.
• Content restoration: Smoke damage can permeate porous materials like carpets, upholstery, and clothing. We restore salvageable items through specialized cleaning or odor-removal processes.
• Structural restoration: In severe cases, smoke damage might necessitate repairs to structural elements like walls, ceilings, or air ducts compromised by smoke or fire.

We aim to restore your property to a safe, clean, and habitable condition, minimizing the long-term effects of smoke and fire damage.

Does Drywall Need to Be Replaced After Fire Damage?

To determine if drywall needs to be replaced after fire damage, our technicians will consider the following:

• Smoke intensity and penetration: Lingering smoke odors and heavy soot staining might indicate deeper smoke penetration. In such cases, replacing your drywall might be necessary.
• Material type: Regular drywall is more susceptible to smoke damage than moisture-resistant drywall (MR drywall), which can sometimes be salvageable.

What’s the Process of Smoke Odor Removal and How Long Does It Take?

Smoke particles won’t just go away on their own. It takes specialized equipment, proven techniques, and experience to turn a smoke-damaged space back into a valuable part of your property. The time required for smoke odor removal will vary depending on the severity of the damage and the size of your affected area.

Here’s a breakdown of our typical odor removal process:

• Assessment and pinpointing of smell sources
• Ventilation and air filtration (opening windows and doors, HEPA purifiers, etc.)
• Cleanup and targeted odor removal
• Removal and proper disposal of unsalvageable materials
