Fire Damage/Smoke Damage/Soot Damage Clean-Up & Puffback Clean-Up

Fire Damage

Understanding the extent of fire damage to a home is complicated because much of the harm is done long after the fire is put out. After a fire there may be a great deal of damage that is not immediately visible or obvious. Emergency Corrosion Mitigation may be necessary depending on what burned and how the fire was put out. Some surfaces may be more vulnerable than others also.

Our professionals can help to determine if and what surfaces may need to be addressed immediately to prevent further damage. If a fire extinguisher was discharged, the ansle dust should be professionally cleaned with HEPA filtration. This dust is very small and light and travels throughout a structure quickly. The smoke and soot from the fire can reach throughout a structure quickly. We have tremendous experience and the right tools to help determine what areas are affected and which are not.

Never try to clean items on your own as different materials require special handling for restoration to be successful. Further damage may also result. There may be Water Damage from extinguishing the fire as well, which may require Emergency Services. Odor Removal/Control will be performed by working with the property owner and occupants to determine the best method for the circumstances.

Smoke Damage/Soot Damage Clean-Up & Puffback Clean-Up

Smoke damage takes time to manifest itself, and when it does the consequences are serious.

Smoke behaves in different ways depending on the type of fire that occurs. Therefore, it takes the eye of a highly trained specialist to understand what damage the smoke has done. For example, some fires produce smoke that burns slow and creates a strong odor. Other fires, conversely, create smoke that burns fast at very high temperatures, causing a lot of damage in a very short period of time.

When people think of smoke damage, they focus mainly on furniture and perhaps the walls. However, smoke can cause harm to much more than one might think. During a fire, smoke works its way throughout the pipes in the house and up to all levels of the structure. The integrity of the entire house is compromised.

Smoke can affect carpeting, drapery, furniture, clothing, food, chrome fixtures, plants, appliances, and woodwork. If it is not dealt with in a timely manner, these items could all be damaged beyond repair, requiring replacements. This necessitates a thorough inspection and detailed recovery plan from the technicians at Pronto Environmental Services.

Smoke not only ruins homes and buildings, but it also often creates an unbearable odor. This lingering odor is complex and difficult to remove. Furthermore, it is not only harsh on the senses, but it also poses a threat to the health of those smelling it. Smoke can contain dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, methane, sulfur dioxide, and a whole host of other harmful chemicals.

The intricacies of smoke damage removal require the attention of an experienced home restoration service, such as Pronto Environmental Services. Pronto Environmental Services has a team of highly trained, certified technicians that perform meticulous inspections to determine the best plan for restoration. They are dedicated to returning your home to its pre damaged condition and reducing the stress that is inherent with fire damage.
