Skilled Fire Smoke Odour Removal Services

We’ll include our ICE SHIELD® service free of charge for all fire smoke odour removal customers.

When you call our helpful customer service representatives, we will ask for your contact information and images of any apparent damage. Using this information, we dispatch a team of specialists to the affected location to conduct a full risk assessment to detect possible dangers, locate the source of the odour, and develop a unique odour neutralisation process.

We adopt the most suitable approach for your circumstances, starting with a 6-stage odour removal that may involve smoke damage clean-up. This entails doing a skilled air treatment as well as cleaning any impacted surfaces and materials. We make sure the air is safe to breathe and stay on-site until you are happy with the outcome.

How does soot affect your home?

You will begin to see the harm caused by smoke after a fire. Ash and soot accumulate on various surfaces, which can permanently stain them and cover them in a black deposit. Because of the chemicals in the residue, wood, vinyl, and even metal may get discoloured when they encounter hard surfaces.

Chemicals cause metal — a core component of the construction of your home — to rust and corrode. This makes your home less sturdy and safe to live in. You must immediately call a smoke damage restoration business to avoid lasting damage.

Does smoke contain carbon monoxide?

You may have noticed black smoke rising off the flames while burning organic fuels like wood or coal because of the carbon made during incomplete combustion. The particles remain in the air when this smoke is caught in a clogged chimney or produced by a home fire. Once on a surface, these particles gradually settle and appear as a black residue.

Tar, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are a few of the compounds that carbon produces. Carbon monoxide gets trapped in the home during a chimney or house fire and is undetectable without a carbon monoxide monitor. By touching or otherwise interacting with the soot, you can be exposed to carbon monoxide, which might potentially result in symptoms like:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Stomach pains
• Confusion
• Shortness of breath
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures

What needs to be disposed of after a fire?

Depending on the extent of the fire damage to your furniture, it might be possible to salvage it. If your furniture is wet due to chemicals or extinguishing solutions, it could be repairable after drying but would need expert cleaning.

However, dry damage from fire, soot, or smoke makes it very impossible to restore your furniture. In addition to having a charred scent, it can be irreparably damaged and burnt. The following things will probably need to be replaced or disposed of:

• Containers made of plastic
• Towels, clothing, and bedding
• Carpets, drapes, and upholstery
• Wooden furniture and flooring

Aside from personal belongings and furniture, you must throw out any food or drinks exposed to fire, soot, or extreme heat. This also applies to medicine and cosmetics, which can be recycled safely at your local pharmacy.
