Smoke Damage

Extensive training and experience helps the fire restoration professionals at EHS Restoration determine how far the smoke and fire damage spread through your home or business. The complexity of property loss and destruction during a fire are due to the unique behavior of smoke. Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure and can penetrate within cavities of the structure and cause hidden damages and odor. Smoke flows around plumbing systems and uses the holes around the pipes to go from floor to floor. Smoke gets trapped in an surface with pores such as wood, carpet, furniture, walls, plastic and ceramics.

Smoke can stay in these objects for months despite your best cleaning efforts. Smoke damage restoration requires special procedures and equipment as well as specialized training. We take every precaution necessary and all steps needed to address your concerns and test the smoke to see which types of fire occurred. A fire restoration professional from EHS Restoration tests the soot during the inspection of the property to determine the full extent of the fire damage and the scope of needed restoration, cleaning and repairs. Pre-testing is very important to help determine the type of smoke damage as well as what can be restored as well as what needs to be replaced. It also helps determine which cleaning procedures will be the most effective for your loss.

Types of soot include

Wet Smoke Residues – sticky, smeary residues with pungent odors are caused by smoldering fires with low heat.
Dry Smoke Residues – dry, powdery, non-smeary smoke particles are caused by fast burning fires at high temperatures.
Protein Residues – virtually invisible residues with a very pungent odor.
Fuel Oil Soot – furnace puff backs.
Other types of residue – this includes fire extinguisher residues, fingerprint powder and tear gas.
