Services cover emergency board-up and tarping, soot and smoke removal, odor elimination, structural cleaning, content restoration, and full reconstruction of fire-damaged areas.
Smoke residue is chemically complex and acidic. If left untreated, it continues to corrode surfaces, discolor materials, and emit toxic fumes. Professional cleaning stops ongoing damage immediately.
Many items can be restored through ultrasonic cleaning, ozone treatment, and specialized dry-cleaning methods. We assess each item individually and prioritize salvage wherever possible.
We use thermal fogging, ozone generators, and hydroxyl machines to neutralize smoke odor molecules throughout the structure. Surface cleaning alone is not sufficient for odor removal.
