Cleaning Smoke Damage & Fire Smoke Damage in Connecticut and Westchester County
The obvious damage in a fire is from the burned items. However, a small fire can still mean a lot of smoke, which can spread far and wide in your home. And while the fire is isolated and temporary, smoke damage can linger for years.
Smoke damage can ruin photos, artwork, and electronics. It can bleed through paint, leaving smoke residues and char behind, and as heat causes pores and crevices to expand, pressure can force airborne particles into inaccessible areas. As it flows into all areas of a home, it spreads odors, debris, and potentially toxic fumes throughout the structure. The smell of smoke is pervasive and strong, and it can linger in a Connecticut house for years.
If your home suffers from smoke damage, contact a local, pre-screened smoke damage restoration contractor in Connecticut.
Smoke damage is possible even when a fire is not damaging your home. The start of the home heating season hails in a wide variety of sources for smoke-related damage. Furnace malfunctions, wood stove and chimney-related fires, and small kitchen fires increase dramatically as homeowners turn up the heat and spend more time indoors.
The contractors on this site perform both smoke and fire damage restoration.
Cleaning smoke damage in Connecticut and removing the smoke odors from a structure is a process that involves many steps. Thick, black soot from grease fires will need to be addressed differently than a cleaner burning smoke sediment, and chemical smokes from burning plastic and other materials will need special treatments. Sealers will need to be specifically applied to help keep odors from leaching out for months. Special equipment, like an ozone chamber, are powerful ways to effectively clean out smaller and movable objects. With fires, the cleanup methods also depend on the amount of heat, the duration of the fire, and the amount of oxygen available during the blaze.
It's understandable that a homeowner or business owner would want to begin smoke cleanup right away once a fire has been extinguished. However, without professional advice, efforts taken to take care of the damage may be wasteful or even damaging.
