Smoke Damage and Odor Removal

In many cases of fires, the majority of the damage occurs in the aftermath of the fire as smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts are still hanging around.  The burning of synthetic materials results in chemical reactions that create smoke, soot, and oily residue, and these byproducts will outlast the fire and continue to cause damage throughout the property.  Structural elements and objects affected by these materials will experience discoloration and etching that will likely become permanent without quick cleaning.  Our professionals at RestorationMaster have the proper equipment and cleaning products to restore surfaces and objects damaged by soot and oily residue.

The other leftover byproduct that can cause problems after a fire is the smoke odor.  Smoke odors are difficult to deal with because the odor particles get absorbed and trapped in porous materials and even air spaces.  The particles must be extracted for the odor to be effectively removed.  Our technicians used advanced deodorization techniques that will remove the odor particles from the air spaces and affected materials.
