If you experience a fire in your home, you should call ProPacific Restorations for professional restoration service. It is important that the cleanup begins as soon as possible. Smoke residues are acidic in nature and with time they will cause surfaces to corrode and stain permanently. Smoke residues that were pressurized during the fire will permeate cracks and crevices of building materials and deposit odor-causing residues. ProPacific Restorations provides service professionals who will work quickly to stop the damage and restore your home and contents back to pre-fire condition by using cleaning systems and equipment that will help eliminate costly replacement of restorable items. Smoke odors can be difficult to remove due to its penetration and absorption into building materials. A fire loss is very complex because of the unique behavior of smoke. It is important to have trained technicians at the loss location.
- Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
- Smoke flows through plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor.
- The type of smoke will greatly affect the restoration process.
TYPES OF SMOKE The first step at a fire scene is to calm the fears of those affected. We then test the smoke to see which of the following types of fire took place.
- Wet Smoke — Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
- Dry Smoke — Fast burning at high temperatures.
- Protein — Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes. Extreme pungent odor.
- Fuel Oil Soot — Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot.
- Other Types — Tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residue are other types.
