Fire & Smoke

Experiencing a fire in your home or office is a devastating event. Fire and smoke damage is a complex task that should be relegated to a professional fire restoration company. Emergency Flood Restoration services can help you repair damage caused by fire and smoke, and help you begin to recover from this distressing event.

Expert fire and smoke restoration is a complicated job, in part due to the toxic gases that are released from the burning of construction materials, such as solvents and glues. Emergency Flood Restoration trained technicians can detect and neutralize these chemicals and remove hazardous odors from the air.

Emergency Flood Restoration technicians will remove soot from the property itself, as well as handle the delicate tasks of removing ash from electronics, appliances, books, artwork and important documents. We will also help you determine what items can be safely restored and what needs be replaced. Emergency Flood Restoration experts understand how difficult the loss of personal property can be and take the utmost care to restore items back to their original condition whenever possible.

Smoke Damage Repair

Fire conceives two distinct types of smoke damage; damage from soot and invisible odor. Both are destructive in their own ways and much of the restoration process following a house or business fire is dependent upon the type of burn.

The behavior of smoke is exclusive to the type of fire and building that has been affected. The nature of smoke is to migrate to areas of a building that may have not been directly impacted by a flame, therefore knowing the exact type of fire and smoke is essential to a proper restoration. Smoke damage repair requires an experienced professional fire and smoke restoration service to effectively repair any smoke related damages.

Types of Smoke

Dry Smoke - Is a result of a fast burn at a high temperature. The odor and soot left behind from this type of smoke needs to be properly treated by certified Emergency Flood Restoration specialists.

Wet Smoke - this type of damage is caused by a low heat fire where there are numerous areas of smoldering. This smoke leaves a "wet" sticky substance that should be remedied by a professional fire restorer. The smoke webs created by wet smoke are difficult to clean and easily smear if not treated correctly. Do not attempt to restore an area affected by this type of smoke damage without consulting a professional fire and smoke restoration service.

Protein - Smoke damage as a result of an extreme burn of a game animal or other protein enriched fiber. Extremely pungent odor that is virtually invisible, but does a number of damages to varnishes and paints.

Oil Soot from Fuel - fireplaces and furnaces can "puffback" as a result of soot from fuel oil. This damage can ruin upholstered products such as drapery, couches and carpets. The soot emitted from fuel oils can be devastating to nearby household items or office goods. Proper restoration is the key to salvaging sentimental valuables and cherished amenities.
