Smoke Remediation

Smoke remediation after a fire involves removing smoke residue, odors, and toxins from the home. Here’s a short explanation:

1. Ventilation: The house is aired out to remove lingering smoke and fumes.

2. Soot and Residue Removal: Surfaces like walls, ceilings, and furniture are cleaned using special equipment and cleaners.

3. Odor Elimination: Techniques like thermal fogging, ozone treatment, or hydroxyl generators are used to neutralize smoke odors.

4. HVAC Cleaning: Ductwork and vents are cleaned to remove soot and prevent recontamination.

5. Material Replacement: Severely damaged or porous materials (like carpets or insulation) may be replaced if they can’t be cleaned.

This restores indoor air quality and removes harmful smoke byproducts.
