Here are three ways you can master smoke issues with the help of Extreme Carpet Care and Restoration’s services.
Know What Caused the Fire: Different Types of Smoke Odors
There are many different types of smoke odors and damage. Often, this has to do with the source of the fire as well as its extent and the materials that burned in the fire. For example, a chemical fire will leave behind harmful smoke residues and lingering odors. This will require a different treatment than a simple fire that burned some papers. Everything from the insulation in your home to the fire’s location on your property can make a difference in the type of smoke damage and odors present. As a result, it requires professional training and expertise to diagnose the cause of the fire and determine the best course of action to handle smoke damage effectively.
Don’t Wait to Tackle Smoke Damage and Odors
Second, you never want to wait when handling smoke odors and concerns. The sooner you handle these issues, the less likely it is they will recur or persist in the long term. It is best to handle these issues within 72 hours of the property being cleared by fire responders and investigators. During this time, you will want to document damage in detail for insurance purposes. Luckily, our expert fire damage team at Extreme Carpet Care and Restoration can also help with this.
Remember: Professional Help is Critical
Finally, it may seem tempting to try and handle the smoke damage and odors yourself, especially when they seem minor. After all, there are plenty of odor control measures, equipment, and cleaning agents marketed for purchase or rent. However, these won’t often handle the root issue causing smells to recur. Furthermore, the problem is usually worse than it appears, such as harmful residues left behind on walls that are not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, for everyone’s safety and for the integrity of your property, it is best to always leave smoke damage and odor control to a professional.
