There was a fire in a trash can (which was wicker) in a bedroom. The floor and wall were damaged. The fire was put out without water. The room was smoke filled and still has a heavy odor. This occurred yesterday.

Had a heavy smoker in a 1 bedroom unit in a multi-unit building and the odor spread throughout the building. Need an estimate to remove the smoke odor and clean the furniture in the unit as soon as possible. Thanks.

Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke removal is a major part of the fire damage restoration process. Because of the strange behavior of smoke, it's easier to get rid of traces of soot and ash in the structure and in your possessions, than it is to remove all traces of smoke from your property. The smoke not properly dealt with by a fire damage company can linger in the air for months after the disaster, spreading in the air and contaminating it with toxins. If left unchecked, these toxins from the smoke can cause allergies, and throat irritations in occupants of the property.
Cleaning up the smoke will begin with identifying the kind of smoke that has been produced in the fire. This will help your smoke removal company to understand the migration process of the smoke. Hot smoke usually moves to cooler upper parts of the structure, and makes its way to the parts of the house through plumbing pipes. This makes this sort of smoke harder to eliminate. It's marked by low heat, produces smoke that harder to clean and pungent in odor, while fast burning fire produces dry smoke. Only a smoke removal company will be equipped to identify these various types of smoke, and determine the best process for elimination.
After the identification of the types of smoke, your smoke removal contractor will then begin to use specialized processes to remove all traces of smoke from your property. A process called thermal fogging which involves opening the pores of the walls to let out smoke is made use of. If your walls have insulation, these might have to be replaced, because the smoke odors are retained in the insulation padding. A specialist smoke removal company will have the techniques at their disposal, and the methods to get rid of smoke from your property.
