Time is of the essence. Time is the enemy when it comes to saving restorable property after fire and smoke exposure. The longer you wait to begin restoration efforts after a fire, the more challenging the restoration effort will be because smoke will deeply permeate into surfaces and fibers the longer you wait. The deeper the smoke damage, the longer the restoration process will take, which translates to a higher cost for you to complete the restoration and removal effort.
Toxic emissions from smoke and fire damaged property. In addition to soot residue being potentially problematic for your health, smoke damaged property slowly releases toxic gases and chemicals over time into the air. If smoke damage is allowed to remain in your home, you run the risk of inhaling these smoke damage emissions. This can be bad for your health and can cause illness and breathing problems. Not only that, but smoke damaged property carries smoky odors, which can be offensive, off-putting or distracting.
Removal of smoke damaged property must be done in a specific way. One of the problems with smoke damage is that if it is improperly processed, you run the risk of making the damage worse than it already is, or you could potentially permanently damage your property, which is likely the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. A professional restoration company will know exactly how to handle your smoke damaged property so that your property has the best chance of being saved.
Smoke and ash residues will continue to damage your property. You might think that once the fire is gone that smoke damage does little more than look unsightly and smell smoky.

Smoke and soot can cause corrosion, etching and discoloration of your property if not treated promptly. Do not delay in contacting a professional for your smoke damage restoration needs.
