Regaining Your Home After Fire

Nothing is more terrifying than a house ?re. In
just a matter of minutes, cherished possessions
and entire rooms can go up in ?ames. Even after
the ?re is out, the nightmare isn't over. The
smoke and soot left behind cause a whole new set
of headaches that require professional ?re and
smoke damage cleanup remediation. Calling in the
cleanup experts is crucial for getting your home
back to normal.

The Lingering Dangers of Smoke
Don't be fooledthat smoke smell isn't just
unpleasant, it can be downright hazardous. Smoke
is a toxic soup of gases and particles that can
make you sick if inhaled over a prolonged
period. The residue it leaves behind is also
highly acidic and corrosive, slowly eating away
at contents and building materials. Even if the
visible smoke has cleared, the damage continues
as particles settle into carpets, furniture,
walls, ductwork, and anywhere else you can't
readily see. That's why you need professional
smoke remediation to locate and remove this
unseen contamination.

The Deep Clean Experts

• Trying to clean up smoke and soot damage on your
  own is rarely effective. Professional ?re
  restorers have specialized equipment and
  techniques to reach deep into areas you can't
  access. Their arsenal includes
• Air scrubbers and HEPA ?lters to remove particles
  from the air- Ozone generators to neutralize
  odors from smoke
• Thermal foggers to disperse deodorizers into
  hard-to-reach spaces
• Specialized cleaners and solvents to remove soot
  from various surfaces
• They also get your HVAC system fully cleaned of
  smoke particles, so contamination isn't
  continuously recirculated.

Restoring vs Replacing

• One major bene?t of hiring ?re and water damage
  restoration professionals is their expertise in
  restoring household items and contents when
  possible, rather than replacing them.
• This can save you thousands compared to throwing
  out smoke-damaged furniture, clothing,
  electronics, and more. Fire restorers have
  specialized techniques like
• Ultrasonic cleaning for items that can be
  submerged
• Dry cleaning for clothing and textiles-
  Deodorizing and sealing of wood surfaces.
• They will, however, recommend discarding
  absorbent materials like drywall and insulation
  saturated by smoke.
