Utah Fire Damage

Fire damage is a very serious concern and should be addressed immediately. Not only will there be fire damage, but there can also be smoke soot damage and water damage. The water damage will be from the water used to extinguish the fire. The Utah fire damage restoration experts are proficiently trained to address all specific aspects of fire damage and will determine the best method to clean it up. Fire damage is a very complex process because there are different types of smoke. Smoke is highly acidic and can permanently damage many surfaces if not treated immediately.

Different types of smoke include:

  • Wet smoke—sticky, smeary, more difficult to clean
  • Dry smoke—very fast burning
  • Protein—virtually invisible, discolors paints
  • Fuel Oil Soot—furnace soot
  • Other types—fire extinguisher residue
Utah Fire Restoration

As soon as the type of smoke has been determined, then the most effective cleaning method and restoration process can begin. An initial cleaning or neutralization of the highly acidic smoke soot should happen immediately in order to prevent permanent damage. Ozone concentration is ideal for neutralizing soot; it works like a bolt of lightning with a current running through oxygen which attacks bacteria, mildew and the smoky odor caused by the fire. Ozone is 100% safe and will leave the air smelling clean.

Extinguishing a fire with water can cause mold to start growing rapidly throughout the walls and carpet of a home. Exposure to mold is a very serious health concern and there are severe side effects such as asthma, nausea, fever, throat irritation, headache, and nose bleeds just to name a few. Mold has to be treated immediately by performing ozone treatments and using dehumidifiers to dry the mold thoroughly. Then, once it is completely dry, a high-powered vacuum is used to suck out all the remaining mold and spores. Utah fire damage experts can safely and effectively restore your home back to its original condition before the fire damage occurred. Rest assured that your home can still be salvageable after a fire.
