Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Common Questions Answered
Why is water damage mitigation part of fire restoration?
Firefighting water soaks walls and floors and can lead to mold and rot, so it is dried alongside the smoke cleanup.
Does fire restoration include attic and duct cleaning?
Yes. Smoke and soot travel into attics and ducts, so those are cleaned too.
What causes persistent smoke odors after a fire?
Tiny smoke particles that settle into drywall, wood and insulation and keep releasing odor.
What determines the success of fire damaged property restoration?
A full initial assessment, each phase done in order, and drying and cleaning to published industry standards.
What are the health risks of untreated smoke damage?
Soot and ash can irritate lungs and eyes, and residue from burned plastics may be toxic.
