Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke removal is a major part of the fire damage restoration process. Because of the strange behavior of smoke, it's easier to get rid of traces of soot and ash in the structure and in your possessions, than it is to remove all traces of smoke from your property. The smoke not properly dealt with by a fire damage company can linger in the air for months after the disaster, spreading in the air and contaminating it with toxins. If left unchecked, these toxins from the smoke can cause allergies, and throat irritations in occupants of the property.
Cleaning up the smoke will begin with identifying the kind of smoke that has been produced in the fire. This will help your smoke removal company to understand the migration process of the smoke. Hot smoke usually moves to cooler upper parts of the structure, and makes its way to the parts of the house through plumbing pipes. This makes this sort of smoke harder to eliminate. It's marked by low heat, produces smoke that harder to clean and pungent in odor, while fast burning fire produces dry smoke. Only a smoke removal company will be equipped to identify these various types of smoke, and determine the best process for elimination.
Once all types of smoke are identified, your smoke reamer company will begin the process of smoke removal. A process called thermal fogging is used to eliminate smoke orders. If the walls have insulation, this might have to be removed in order to eradicate the odor. The insulation cannot be retained because it will still have the odor and will have to be replaced instead.
