What You’re Dealing With

Fire damage doesn’t end when the flames go out. In multi-unit buildings, hidden damage is often more extensive than the visible:

Smoke residue migrating through shared ventilation far from the fire source

HVAC systems distributing smoke particles throughout the building

Cross-contamination from improper cleaning methods

Acidic soot corroding metal fixtures and surfaces after the event

Persistent odors in elevator shafts, stairwells, and common areas

Our Process

Site Stabilization & Hazard Evaluation

Structural and electrical assessment before any work begins.

Air Purification & Soot Removal

Multi-stage HEPA filtration and chemical treatment to eliminate particles and odors.

Water Mitigation

Immediate drying of suppression water to prevent secondary damage.

Deodorization

Eco-friendly agents that neutralize VOCs and harmful residues — not just mask them.

Contractor Coordination

Seamless handoff to reconstruction teams with full documentation.

Types of Smoke Damage

DRY SMOKE

High heat, fast-burning fires

Powdery residue that spreads easily across surfaces and into cracks.

Dry cleaning methods

WET SMOKE

Low heat, smoldering fires

Sticky, smeary residue that is significantly harder to remove and penetrates deeply.

Wet agents & degreasers

PROTEIN SMOKE

Kitchen fires

Nearly invisible residue but produces an extreme, persistent odor that standard cleaning misses.

Enzyme deodorization

FUEL OIL SOOT

Furnace puff-backs

Heavy black coating that requires industrial-grade solvent treatment                                        throughout.
