What happens when smoke is present?
Not only does smoke have a horrible odor; it also causes permanent damage to items within hours. Some of the items that can be permanently damaged or discolored if not treated right away after the damage are ceramic tile, granite, marble, or alabaster countertops, and items made of stainless steel, chrome, or brass. Our certified technicians respond within hours to assess and pre treat all items for you that may permanently damage if gone untreated.
Within days remaining items must be cleaned and treated in order to prevent yellowing, staining, etching, rusting and to reduce the cost to remove the smoke odors. If gone untreated for too long items will be unable to be restored to their original state.
The four-step process to remove odors
- If possible, remove the source of the smoke, including possessions that are not going to be saved, and are contributing to smoke odor and recontamination of cleaned and deodorized areas.
- Clean all surfaces that are going to be restored and items being saved to physically remove odor-causing residue.
- Clean remaining odor with an odor counteracting agent. For smoke, we create a deodorizing fog or gas that seeks out and encapsulates smoke odor-causing substances, eliminating the odor all together.
- Seal salvageable surfaces that are inaccessible or slightly scorched, not only for aesthetic purposes, but primarily to encapsulate odor and prevent progressive recontamination.
