Experienced Restoration Professionals are Ready 24/7 to Help with Post-Fire Recovery of Manhasset Homes

While the fire that your home experiences can be destructive, lingering effects created by smoke damage can create issues of their own. Our fast responding technicians have mitigation strategies to overcome smoke damage; however it impacts your property.

Improving Indoor Air Quality

Smoke damage can be a focal point of fire damage restoration in Manhasset homes. Getting emergency services started as soon as possible can be critical to protecting the property and its contents. One such action is reducing the presence of airborne contaminants and solids, often completed with the placement of HEPA air scrubbers.

Removing Soils and Smoke Residues

Overcoming soot and smoke damage can be one of the most significant obstacles our fire restoration professionals face when working in a damaged home. Partial combustion can create soot particles that adhere to surfaces and come to rest on horizontal planes. Depending on the affected material, we have multiple cleaning approaches, such as:

• Wet cleaning
• Chem sponges
• Media blasting
• Controlled demolition
  

Removing Harsh Odors from the House

Smoke damage can often be in the form of harsh odors spread throughout the property. The troublesome aspect of noxious smells is their ability to move far beyond the damaged area to impact other rooms of the house through avenues like the HVAC system. We rely on reduction techniques to limit the severity of odors before full deodorization practices begin.

Smoke damage presents itself in multiple ways after a fire. When these damaging facts are present, we have experienced technicians capable of helping mitigate loss and remove soot and smoke residues where they are found.
