Repairing Smoke Damages In Your Home Or Business

Grasping the full extend of fire damage to a home is somewhat complicated because

much of the harm done occurs long after the flames have been extinguished. Smoke damage takes a bit of time to show itself and when it does the consequences are very serious. It is therefore highly recommended that you call a smoke damage reparation company immediately following a fire.

Smoke does not also react in the same way in every fire as it all depends on the type of fire that has occurred. In fact, it takes a trained professional to fully understand what damage has been done by smoke after a fire. Some fires produce smoke that is slow to burn and which gives off a strong smell. Other fires create smoke that burns quickly at high temperatures which causes an extensive amount of damage in a short amount of time.

Most of us think of smoke damage as something that occurs to our furnishings, walls and ceilings. The truth is however that smoke can do a lot of damage due to the fact that it can travel through pipes and get into cracks and crevices to wind up being on all levels of the building and not just where the fire occurred.

Smoke can damage curtains, carpets, furniture, clothing, food, plants, woodwork and appliances of all sizes. Smoke damage must be dealt with quickly if there is a chance to save these items. It is therefore necessary to call in smoke damage restoration professionals so that the full extent of the damage is assessed and that the clean-up can get underway.

Once a call is placed to a smoke cleanup company, you can expect them to arrive on your property in a matter of hours. A full visual inspection will take place and the soot, odors and other damage is examined. Your valuable items will be removed from the area so that they are kept clean during the process of cleaning. Most usually the items that have been exposed to smoke will be taken off-site so that they can be cleaned and returned to you once the smoke restoration process is completed. You should be prepared to be told that not everything can be made odor-free and that replacement of some of your items may be required.

A full deodorization process is done to eliminate any traces of smoke odor. Mold eradication is performed if necessary as well as a full vacuuming using an industrial strength HEPA machine. These companies have heavy duty chemicals, high tech machinery and fully trained personnel so that you can get your life back to normal as quickly as possible following the fire disaster.

You can expect to receive the best results possible when you call in the experts. If you attempt to clean smoke damage yourself the chances are very good that you will not succeed in eliminating all of the odor or the tell tale signs of smoke.
