Getting Rid of the Smell of Smoke

Having your home or business catch fire is devastating and frightening. The most important thing to do is make sure that your family or other occupants are safe. Don’t try to take anything with you if you’re inside a building when a fire starts; simply get out. Recovering from the damage can come later, when you’re safe.

One thing that most people don’t think about when they are having their home or business restored after fire damage is the damage that results from smoke. Eradicating smoke damage can often be more difficult than cleaning up from the actual physical damage from the fire.

Not only does smoke leave a lingering smell, smoke can be corrosive, thereby causing additional physical damage over time. Smoke can also be toxic and affect the health of the residents of the home. And because smoke permeates so much of a building, it can get inside the HVAC system. There will also likely be water damage because of the water used to put out the fire.

It is crucial that the company you choose to help you restore your home after a fire can adequately address smoke and water damage in addition to fire damage. If you have any questions about restoring your home after a fire, don’t hesitate to contact us.
