FIRE AND SMOKE DAMAGE RESTORATION

Fire is one of the most devastating events a property owner can suffer. Fast and effective restoration can save many valuable and sentimental items, and rebuild homes and lives. We specialize in restoration of smoke damage from start to finish, smoke clean up to smoke odor removal.

Duraclean Restoration Specialist is an IICRC certified firm that has a team of professional technicians who are trained in treating the effects of smoke, heat, and residues caused by fire and smoke.

Our first task is to prevent further damage and deterioration of the structure and contents. First, the property is boarded up and tarped off. An inventory will be prepared, and your contents will be carefully removed to a controlled environment for storage.

Next, our dedicated personnel will:

• Remove Smoke and Odor from Both the Structure and its Contents
• Clean the Structure
• Clean all Personal Belongings
• Complete Demolition or Total Reconstruction

SMOKE DAMAGE AND SOOT

Smoke can penetrate into the cavities of the structure, causing hidden damage and odor. Duraclean Restoration Specialist's training and knowledge of building systems helps us to investigate how far smoke damage may have spread.

Facts about Smoke:

Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure. Smoke flows around plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor. The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Types of Smoke and Soot:

Wet Smoke Residues - Result from smoldering fires with low heat, Residues are sticky, smeary and with pungent odors. Smoke webs can be difficult to clean. Dry Smoke Residues - Result from fast burning fires at high temperatures. Residues are often dry, powdery, small, non-smeary smoke particles. Protein Residues - Virtually invisible residues that discolor paints and varnishes. Extreme pungent odor. Fuel Oil Soot - Furnace puff backs distribute fuel oil soot. Other Types of Residues - Tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residues also need cleanup.
