Smoke Damage Cleaning Services
The smell of smoke from a campfire is a welcome scent in Burbank, Los Angeles, North Hollywood, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, CA, and the surrounding areas, but the odors from a property fire are not, and getting rid of those unpleasant smells is harder than you might imagine. Uplift Restoration has the proper equipment and techniques to neutralize and banish these odors with their smoke damage cleaning services. Smoke particles are microscopic and can penetrate porous materials like curtains, carpeting, clothing, as well as insulation in your walls and more. This smoke, because it is from multiple different materials that have been burned, can also cause staining on surfaces like walls from the chemicals being released. Getting rid of these odors involves using powerful neutralizing agents and getting them into the crevices where only the smallest of particles can penetrate. You don’t have to suffer with the smell of a past fire, just contact our team today and bring our smoke damage cleaning crew to your site.
The Smoke Went Everywhere
Even if the property fire was contained to a small portion of the building, the simple fact is that the smoke went everywhere, and this contaminated nearly the entire building that is still standing and untouched by the fire. And with the different materials that were involved in the fire, wearing protective gear while cleaning, including masks, is important to prevent remaining smoke particles that are floating around from affecting people’s health.
It is important to remember that soot is acidic by nature, and this can cause etching and stains on a variety of materials like walls, ceilings, flooring, and more. The sooner that we can get after the smoke damage cleaning and other cleaning, the easier it is to get things cleaned up. We also use specialized equipment to help remove and neutralize odor molecules.
Smoke Is an Insidious Invader
Not only does the smoke infiltrate every corner of the building that burned, but when the smoke and soot combine with the water used to put out the fire, it becomes light caustic and can slowly corrode materials until it is properly cleaned up. Simple air fresheners are insufficient to deal with the odors, as they must be neutralized at the source and the affected materials either be properly cleaned and deodorized or be replaced.
