RestorationMaster
When a fire leaves a property structure in a devastation condition, many owners mistakenly believe that the flames have caused the majority of the damage. But in fact, the byproducts created in the process are the real culprits. And the scariest part is that the damage will continue to spread until cleanup services arrive.
RestorationMaster is available to provide emergency smoke and soot removal in the Longview, WA area for both residential and commercial properties. Using commercial products and equipment, we will reverse the effects of the damage, wiping away that thick, oily residue and returning the building materials to their original conditions.
The Occurrence of Smoke and Soot Damage
After calling the fire department to extinguish the flames, it is essential to call for emergency cleanup services. This is because the smoke and soot will become absorbed within all surrounding surfaces. The smell can also seep through walls, causing damage to rooms in which the fire didn’t even occur. But the materials at the highest risk for damage include: fabrics, drywall, ceiling, floors, wood, and other porous surfaces.
But before the flames are put out, smoke can also burn in the fire, a process known as chemical pitting, burning, or etching. When this occurs, there is a higher risk for permanent damage within the materials because the byproducts are especially potent. But this headache doesn’t include the strength of the odor left behind, especially when the flames have recently been extinguished.
