When a fire erupts in a home or commercial space, the bulk of the damage often stems not from the flames themselves but from smoke, soot, and corrosive byproducts. These byproducts are formed by incomplete combustion and can linger long after the fire has been extinguished, causing further harm and spreading to areas untouched by the blaze. Additionally, smoke and soot can come from everyday activities such as burning candles and cooking mishaps, which can lead to damage even without a major fire. Without swift and professional cleaning, surfaces and materials affected by smoke and soot can suffer irreversible damage.

First Restoration America specializes in providing smoke removal and remediation in Charlotte, NC. Our skilled technicians use advanced cleaning methods and specialized products designed to restore materials compromised by smoke and soot. We can also use specialized deodorization processes to eliminate lingering smoke odors.

Damage By Smoke and Soot

Fires often leave behind corrosive byproducts that are more harmful than the blaze itself. Putting out the fire is just the beginning; smoke and soot continue to spread through your property until the restoration begins. You must contact a fire damage restoration specialist immediately to control and reduce smoke and soot damage.

Fires generate harmful byproducts such as soot and oily residues due to incomplete combustion. Soot, consisting of tiny particles, disperses through the air, settling across the property. The particles can discolor surfaces, corrode materials, and pose health risks. Specialized cleaning methods are necessary to effectively remove soot and prevent long-term damage. Incorrect cleaning can worsen the issue, making professional fire restoration services essential.

Dealing with smoke odor presents another lingering challenge. These odors adhere to porous building materials and furniture, making them difficult to remove. Advanced deodorization techniques that neutralize odor particles are crucial for eliminating the smell. Air fresheners alone won’t suffice.

"I’m thrilled with the work done by First Restoration. The crew was punctual, professional, clean, and the project started and ended when they said it would! The price for my remodel was very competitive, and there were no “surprises” along the way. Within 2 days of the project being completed, I received a call from the owner of the company asking if I needed anything else, and if I was satisfied. I appreciated the personal touch and desire to ensure I was satisfied with their work product. 5 stars!"

"First restoration was great. I had a leak from an upstairs washer. Keith answered my call right away. Employees arrived a few hours after my call and set up the fans and dehumidifier. First restoration was great and would strongly recommend them in the future."
