Smoke Damage and Odor Removal
In many cases involving a fire, the majority of the damage is actually caused by the smoke and soot created by the heat of the fire. Extreme heat causes chemical reactions when synthetic materials are burned which creates smoke, soot, and oily residue. These corrosive byproducts are still present after the fire is out and they will settle on various surfaces and objects, causing etching and tarnishing to the affected materials. If the effects of these corrosive byproducts are not cleaned right away, the affected surfaces and objects will become permanently damaged. Our technicians use advanced chemical cleaners to restore damage from soot and oily residue from a range of objects and materials.
The odor that smoking leaves behind is also a problem that is difficult to resolve. This is because odor particles get absorbed and trapped in porous building materials, air spaces, and furnishings. Because of this, smoke odors will linger and they cannot be covered up by air fresheners.
At RestorationMaster, we use advanced odor removal techniques to extract the odor particles from the affected areas and eliminate the lingering odor.
