As you would expect, fires can be one of the most devastating and destructive forces a property faces. The pace of the moving blaze and its appetite for fuel become a dangerous combination with susceptible building materials, contents, and belongings. When the fire is out, even materials not directly burned could still suffer substantial smoke damage and require cleanup and care. 

Removing Smoke Damage Across Numerous Material Types 

Smoke damage restoration for San Diego homes involves dozens of approaches combined into a single initiative. Removing smoke remnants and soot residues is a tall order, especially when dealing with sensitive materials that can stain or mar easily when exposed to carcinogenic and corrosive solids. There are several approaches for removing smoke damage and soot buildup on common building materials:

• Surface Cleaning with Products—Our primary step initially involves using chemical sponges, emulsification products, and solvents to loosen and ultimately remove settled soot from building materials and contents.

• Blasting—Chemical sponges and emulsification products might not always be able to address the full scope of surface soot concerns. Blasting puts media like sodium bicarbonate under air pressure and propels it at a damaged surface, clearing the embedded soot without destroying the hosting substrate.

• Carpet Cleaning – For years, many San Diegans knew us as carpet cleaning specialists before they came to know all our other areas of expertise. So, we have seen quite a few fire-damaged carpets in our time, and we have a massive inventory of recovery tools for hot water extraction and bonnet cleaning, as well as restoring plush flooring where it is installed.

• Controlled Demolition – As experienced contractors, we recognize that not all materials can be salvaged and cleaned to desirable levels. Controlled demolition is a component of most structure fire recovery plans, and we are uniquely qualified to expertly remove only the unsalvageable materials to save time and money on reinstallation.
