Smoke Damage Fire Restoration Services 

Smoke is one of the expected byproducts of combustion. Moist conditions cause a slow-burning fire, which can deposit thicker soot and smoke residues and soils on surfaces. The fast response of SERVPRO professionals can help manage these threats in your home and effectively clean up the damage wet smoke can cause.

How Does Wet Smoke Impact the House? 

Wet smoke can create a significant challenge for fire restoration in Niagara Falls homes. The first step in cleaning up and restoring the damage of these disasters is understanding the impact on various materials and systems in your household. We carefully evaluate conditions when we arrive to ensure we use the most effective restoration and mitigation techniques to help. Impacted areas can include: 

• Drywall – Soot and smoke solids can be forced into drywall under pressure during the fire. We work to clean up surfaces with solvents to avoid demolition. 

• Flooring – Carpets and wood floors can both be heavily soiled by smoke damage. Restoring these flooring materials requires careful lifting of loose debris and focused cleaning. 

• Contents – Soot-damaged contents often require cleanup off-site at our SERVPRO warehouse. We use ultrasonic tanks and ESPORTA Wash systems to clean your belongings. 

Strong Odors Present with Damp Smoke 

Another concern with wet smoke is how strong malodors connected with the damage can become. Sensitive surfaces can absorb these odor compounds, and molecules circulate the damaged portions of your property. Removing these strong smells incorporates several tools and machines, though the vapor delivery of thermal fogging can often have the most widespread impact when the house is not vacated.

Smoke damage exists in many forms, and wet smoke is among the most challenging. When thick residues overwhelm surfaces and contents, you can count on our fire restoration professionals to help. Call SERVPRO of North Niagara County at (716) 299-0330.
