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.

I would like to schedule an assessment and cleaning estimate for a unit in a fourplex that I own. The tenants that vacated the unit were heavy smokers. The property manager had the unit professionally cleaned, new carpet installed, and new paint on the walls, ceilings, and trim. However, the cigarette smell is still noticeable. The painter did not wash the walls or ceilings before painting and did not apply any primer. We used a chlorine dioxide fogger which reduced the smell. Thanks.

Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke is often harder to remove from an environment than soot and ash. Smoke removal is the most important part of the fire damage restoration procedure, because it quickly permeates all over the house with different types of smoke gravitating to different parts of the house. This makes smoke removal very difficult and can only be handled by an expert smoke removal company. If this excess smoke in the air is left untreated, it can linger on in the environment over weeks and months, contaminating the air inside with toxic elements that affect the health of those who live in the house.
One of the first things that a smoke removal company will do is to test the smoke to identify the type of smoke, thereby understanding the area of migration. For instance, hot smoke quickly moves to the upper part of the structure and the cooler regions of the property. It gets transferred through plumbing pipes to get access to all parts of the property. This kind of smoke is very hard to control and requires specialized smoke removal process knowledge. Different types of smoke behave in different ways. For instance, dry smoke is caused by fire that burns hard and fast while wet smoke is indicated by low heat and a sharp pungent odor. Identifying the types of smoke is important part of the smoke removal process.
Once all types of smoke are identified, your smoke reamer company will begin the process of smoke removal. A process called thermal fogging is used to eliminate smoke orders. If the walls have insulation, this might have to be removed in order to eradicate the odor. The insulation cannot be retained because it will still have the odor and will have to be replaced instead. Only a professional smoke removal company can help you with such specialized processes. We can help you hook up with such experienced smoke repair company in Portland.
