Fire and Smoke Damage Requires Thorough Restoration
Fire damage often extends beyond the visibly burned area. Smoke can travel through rooms, settle on surfaces and leave persistent odors in porous materials. Soot residue may affect walls, ceilings, fixtures, furnishings and other contents. Water used during firefighting can also leave materials wet and create a need for extraction and structural drying.
SOS Restoration handles fire and smoke damage restoration, including emergency board-up, soot removal, smoke odor removal, contents cleaning and restoration, water extraction and structural drying. Commercial damage restoration is also available.
Emergency Board-Up
Open doors, broken windows and other exposed areas can leave a fire-damaged property vulnerable. Emergency board-up helps secure accessible openings while cleanup and restoration needs are being determined.
Board-up is only one part of the recovery process. The property may also require removal of soot residue, treatment of smoke odors, cleaning of affected contents and attention to water left behind after firefighting.
Soot and Smoke Odor Removal
Soot can settle on surfaces well beyond the immediate fire area. Cleaning methods depend on the affected material, the type and amount of residue, and whether an item can be restored. Using an unsuitable cleaning method may spread residue or push it deeper into a surface.
Smoke odors can remain in walls, ceilings, furnishings and other porous materials. Odor removal addresses the affected sources rather than simply covering the smell. The scope of treatment depends on how far smoke traveled and which materials were exposed.
Water Cleanup After Firefighting
Fire suppression can leave standing water and moisture inside structural materials. Water extraction removes accessible water, while structural drying addresses moisture that remains in affected areas.
Drying requirements vary according to the amount of water present, the materials involved and the extent of exposure. Fire residue and water damage may need to be handled as part of the same coordinated restoration process.
What to Expect During Restoration
1. Review the Affected Areas
The process begins by identifying visible fire, smoke, soot, odor and water-related concerns. Conditions can differ from room to room, even within the same property.
2. Secure Exposed Openings
When needed, emergency board-up is used to secure accessible openings created by the incident.
3. Remove Water, Soot and Odors
The work may include water extraction, structural drying, soot removal, smoke odor removal, and cleaning and restoration of affected contents. The exact combination depends on the property’s condition.
4. Complete the Required Cleanup
Restoration continues according to the affected materials and the extent of the damage. Some items may be suitable for cleaning and restoration, while others may require a different course of action based on their condition.
