Had a heavy smoker in a 1 bedroom unit in a multi-unit building and the odor spread throughout the building. Need an estimate to remove the smoke odor and clean the furniture in the unit as soon as possible. Thanks.

There was a fire in a trash can (which was wicker) in a bedroom. The floor and wall were damaged. The fire was put out without water. The room was smoke filled and still has a heavy odor. This occurred yesterday.

Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke removal is the most important part of this fire restoration process. While the physical elements of the fire damage like the soot and ash, can be scrubbed clean with special cleansers and solvents, smoke proves particularly tricky to control. This is because different types of smoke move to different areas of the property, depending on their type and composition. These deferent types of smoke will need varying procedures to eliminate. An experienced smoke removal company is qualified to remove all traces of smoke from all corners of the home, and balance the air quality of the property again.
A smoke damage company will be able to perform special tests to identify the kind of smoke involved in the fire. For instance, wet smoke indicates a pungent odor and is marked by low heat, and is more difficult to clean. Dry smoke on the other hand, is marked by raging fires. Hot smoke quickly transfers to the cooler parts of the property, which is usually the upper part of the structure. This smoke can travel through plumbing pipes, and lodge itself between walls. During wet seasons, you will notice the traces of smoke left behind come back in full force. This is why a proper smoke removal by a professional smoke removal company is so important.
