Will the Smoke Smell Ever Be Gone?
1/10/2018 (Permalink)
Smoke damage and soot damage can be professionally restored with a variety of techniques that require specialized equipment and expertise. Property owners usually seek to replace damaged items, but soot damage and smoke damage are usually reversible with some deep cleaning using rotary scrubbers or steam.
A restoration company would work together with a property owner to decide what is and is not salvageable after extensive fire damage. A smoke smell is usually the hardest to remove. A professional should be consulted before disposing of anything that may hold company value. Commercial fire damage can render industrial equipment unusable until it is cleaned. A fire cleanup professional should be consulted before disposing of any such equipment as state and local regulations may be invoked when it comes to a fire in a business. In any case, a business should be boarded up for security.
The smoke smell that persists long after a fire can also be treated professionally by an air purifier, ozone machine, or fogger. Smoke smells permeate all fabric and carpeting and will require special treatment in order to remove.
