Recovery and mitigation in fire and smoke damage situations poses it’s own set of unique problems that have to be overcome. The first issue is a basic cleaning and then soot and ash removal. Both soot and ash can pose a health risk from a respiratory standpoint. Once soot and ash have been removed, we begin focusing on smoke and odor removal. This is one of the more difficult steps as smoke odor can be tricky to remove. Experience has shown that the longer appropriate removal procedures are delayed, the more difficult it becomes to eliminate the smoke odor.
Fire or smoke damage to property, regardless of the “size” of the fire, also requires an immediate response. Soot residue is highly acidic and can cause irreversible damage if it is not treated as an emergency. Soot residue can cause the metal in doorknobs, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, etc., to pit or corrode. Glass in windows, mirrors, and cabinets can be etched by soot residue, causing them to look cloudy and soiled. Plastics, appliances, vinyl windows and fabrics can be discolored by soot residue.
