Had a heavy smoker in a 1 bedroom unit in a multi-unit building and the odor spread throughout the building. Need an estimate to remove the smoke odor and clean the furniture in the unit as soon as possible. Thanks.

There was a fire in a trash can (which was wicker) in a bedroom. The floor and wall were damaged. The fire was put out without water. The room was smoke filled and still has a heavy odor. This occurred yesterday.

Smoke Damage Cleanup
Eliminating soot and dash is just half of the job - the real challenge in fire damage restoration comes in the form of smoke removal. Smoke in a fire behaves in strange ways -- certain types of smoke gravitate to one part of the house while smoke of another composition will move to another part of the property. A thoroughly experienced smoke damage company will be able to use special techniques to determine the right amount of product needed to remove all these traces of smoke. A smoke removal contractor can make sure that the indoor environment of the house is back to its normal levels.
A smoke damage company will be able to perform special tests to identify the kind of smoke involved in the fire. For instance, wet smoke indicates a pungent odor and is marked by low heat, and is more difficult to clean. Dry smoke on the other hand, is marked by raging fires. Hot smoke quickly transfers to the cooler parts of the property, which is usually the upper part of the structure. This smoke can travel through plumbing pipes, and lodge itself between walls. During wet seasons, you will notice the traces of smoke left behind come back in full force. This is why a proper smoke removal by a professional smoke removal company is so important.
After the identification of the types of smoke, your smoke removal contractor will then begin to use specialized processes to remove all traces of smoke from your property. A process called thermal fogging which involves opening the pores of the walls to let out smoke is made use of. If your walls have insulation, these might have to be replaced, because the smoke odors are retained in the insulation padding. A specialist smoke removal company will have the techniques at their disposal, and the methods to get rid of smoke from your property.
