Smoke Odor and Soot Removal

After the smoke clears, there will be a layer of soot covering everything, This requires careful and meticulous cleaning. Kinder Restoration Services technicians will use the chemical sponges and liquid solvents to remove any and all soot residues from the structure and its contents. Then your next step is to address the odor problem. As with any fire, the odor that remains afterwards can be especially unpleasant. Kinder Restoration Services uses Ozone Machines and Thermal Foggers to eliminate any odors in the structure and on the contents.

Water Damage, Corrosion and Mold Prevention

When a fire has taken place in an office building or a home, some form of water has been used to suppress it and put out the fire. In offices it is common for a sprinkler system to be in place in order to reduce the loss from the actual fire. Normally that means contents of the room and structure have been drenched.

The clock starts ticking the second the fire is out. Excess water must be removed, and the drying process must begin immediately to mitigate water damage.

Corrosion and mold become the next problem to immediately address. Corrosion can occur when soot from smoke reacts with residual moisture from the water used to fight the fire. Left untreated the resulting acids will continue to damage the structure. Mold damage is another serious issue and is increasingly being focused on as a dangerous health hazard. Recovery efforts must start immediately to mitigate water damage, prevent mold growth and facilitate a quick and thorough fire damage cleanup.
