Then from start to finish, our experts’ teams efficiently complete all aspects of your restoration.
1. Assessing the Damage
We assess the extent of structural damages and then determine what type of smoke has caused the damage to create a recovery plan.
Wet Smoke – Usually associated with smoldering, carries a particularly pungent odor, and is sticky and smeary to the gloved hand.
Dry Smoke – Is usually from fast burning, high temperature fires.
Protein Based Smoke – invisible, but badly discolors paints and varnishes – also carries a very pungent odor.
Fuel Oil Soot – Is usually caused by furnaces when they “puff” back smoke, causing oily, hazardous soot.
Other Types of Residues – fire extinguisher residues also need cleanup.
2. Odor Removal & Deodorizing
Above ALL uses both Ozone generators and advanced thermo-foggers. Thermo-foggers produce a hot thick smoke that destroys odors, and will neutralize particle sizes as minute as .25 microns, reaching into cracks and voids in surfaces touched by water and moisture. After treatment, the interior will be more pleasing than before the damage occurred. Ozone generators, which produce pure ozone gas, permanently remove the odor and kill germs without harming furnishings, not cover them up.
4. Surface Cleaning
Above All employs specialized EPA-approved smoke odor solutions to clean hard surfaces like walls, cabinets, floors, and appliances, and to deep clean textiles like carpeting, upholstery, draperies.
5. HVAC Sanitization
Av advanced Hepa-Vac uses 3 different filters to purify: charcoal, micron provides 99.7% vacuuming efficiency at .3 microns to ensure removal of all smoke, unseen bacteria, and mildew in ventilation systems.
