FIRE RESTORATION
The first thing you notice about a fire is the visible component: flame. Flame is caused by gases and solids that form a visible light that can reach extremely high temperatures. Flames are responsible for burning surfaces and causing most of the physical damage. Smoke on the other hand is the gaseous by-product of burning materials, especially of organic origin made visible by the presence of small particles of carbon. As well as soot, it’s composition makes it extremely dangerous for humans and to your belongings. After a fire, smoke seems to dissipate quickly, but it enters a cooling process which results in a film and odor that may cause corrosion, discoloration and other damage to furniture, structures, appliances, etc
REMOVING
& NEUTRALIZING
Surprisingly, damage can continue to occur even after the fire is extinguished: smoke and soot residues will still burn. This type of damage is known as chemical burning or etching. These residues have the capacity to cause damage for as long as they cover surfacest such as marble, stone, wood, glass, appliances, etc.. Removing and neutralizing all corrosive materials will make the difference in the severity of damage post-fire. Other common post-fire concerns involve the water damage caused by fire mitigation. Once the recovery process starts, it is very important to extract and dry all excess water to stabilize the structure and prevent mold growth
odors are a big residual damage
