Fire Damage Restoration Company

Smoke damage is very common and is often associated with fire damage restoration. Smoke damage, however, can be caused by a number of things (like improperly ventilated equipment) and can occur even without the presence of a fire. Smoke can travel through all of the cracks and crevices of the building, damaging the structure, which is why it’s important to spot. Our team is highly trained and able to identify all types of smoke:

• Wet Smoke – Caused by a low heat, smoldering fire that produces pungent odor with sticky and smeary smoke. This creates smoke webs that are more difficult to clean.
• Dry Smoke – From a fast-burning fire at high temperatures.
• Protein Smoke – Virtually invisible smoke that discolors paints and varnishes. It also has an extremely pungent odor.
• Fuel Oil Soot – Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot.
• Other Types of Smoke – Include: tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residue

Regardless of how the smoke was caused, it should always be handled by a professional restoration company to ensure it is completely cleaned. If you have experienced a fire and know there is smoke damage or if you are simply worried you may have smoke damage due to another cause, give us a call and we can complete a thorough inspection. Smoke can be very difficult to handle as an aspect of fire damage restoration because of how difficult it can be to get rid of not just the physical evidence of smoke caused by fire damage, but the lingering smell of smoke that can stick around if the fire damage cleanup is not handled properly. At Excel Fire And Water Damage Restoration Services, we are professionals when it comes to fire restoration and fire damage repair. We can help you restore your property by eliminating any evidence of smoke in the building so it will be like the fire never occurred in the first place.
