Save Your Valuables and Smoky Walls
The longer you wait to begin the smoke restoration procedure, the more severe the smoke damage will become. Plastics will begin to yellow within minutes of contact with the acid in the smoke and the soot residue. Anything near the fire will discolor, with particularly porous materials having the potential to discolor permanently. If at all feasible, call now to begin cleaning, as things will only get worse as time goes.
What Is Considered Smoke Damage?
Smoke damage from a fire nearby is anything that is badly harmed when it is covered by smoke. It could be something as minor as an unpleasant smoke odor or as severe as harm to the building’s structural integrity.
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and soot are always present in the smoke produced by any burning thing. The other compounds that will be present in the smoke will be determined by what is on fire.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much that can stop smoke from spreading. It will pool throughout the building, clinging to walls, seeping into furniture, grabbing onto clothing, damaging electronics, and filling in any gaps in the ducting.
Can You Do Clean Smoke Damage Yourself?
While it may be tempting to clean the smoke damage yourself, we highly recommend not to. Smoke damage contains a lot of different chemicals that are harmful when inhaled.
Smoke Damage Professionals have the proper equipment to eradicate the smoke odor and soot. Depending on the item, it may require special treatment. Without knowledge of how to clean these items, using the wrong solvent might damage the item further.
We conduct thorough testing of soot residue to determine the best cleaning methods and are able to remove soot from:
- Brass
- Aluminum
- Chrome
- Marble, tile
- Porcelain
- Upholstery
- Carpet
- and more…
