What Do I Do About Everything that Got Wet?

During the course of extinguishing the flames, first responders use water and sometimes chemicals. Any wet surfaces have to be addressed with professional water extraction so that no moisture gets left behind. Should your home have any kind of water damage, items and building materials have to be dried as soon as possible. For example:

•   We have dehumidifiers that help to eliminate moisture from carpets, draperies, and other fabric surfaces. Without proper drying, the damage could be beyond repair, and mildew might set in.
•   Items made from copper or brass must be cleaned with special cleaning agents as soon as possible. The acidic nature of the smoke from the fire can start to react with these materials in as little as 24 hours after the fire loss event.
•   Building materials also call for special attention while drying. Soggy sheetrock can crumble, and subflooring can begin to swell. If you have hardwood floors, they are vulnerable to moisture, which can cause them to bulge, buckle, and warp.

How Do You Handle Soot Residue?

The type of residue left behind depends on the materials burned during your house fire and how they burned, such as:

•   Fast-burning fires that burn extremely hot put out a powdery residue, which makes it fairly easy to clean.
•   A smoldering, slower-burning fire puts out wet smoke that leaves an odor-causing, sticky residue that is challenging to clean.
•   If the fire in your home included petroleum products, there would be a higher level of soot that may be easy to detect on hard surfaces, but it can settle into carpeting and other fabrics.

Smoke often filters out into your HVAC system throughout the course of the house fire. When this happens, and it does not get addressed appropriately, each time that your air conditioner or heating system gets turned on, it can trigger the foul smoke odors. We work to carefully clean and repair your ducts so that we can remove all traces of the fire. In some cases, this can include the application of special sealants.

To handle the soot from your fire loss, we have specialized techniques that allow us to tackle a range of surface areas. For restoring your interior, we have both dry and wet cleaning methods as well as chemicals and various equipment that help us to make everything “Like it never even happened.
