Our expert fire damage restoration services are designed to get your property back to normal quickly and safely. While you wait for our arrival, follow these important tips to minimize further damage:

What to Do After Fire Damage:

  1. Ventilate Your Space: If the weather allows, open doors and windows to let fresh air in and reduce smoke odors.
  2. Clean Your Refrigerator: Completely empty the fridge and freezer to avoid spoilage and odors.
  3. Dispose of Contaminated Food: Throw away any food or containers that were exposed to fire, smoke, or soot.
  4. Protect Surfaces: Wipe down chrome, porcelain, and aluminum surfaces to prevent corrosion or tarnishing.
  5. Filter the Air: Place a damp cloth over supply and return vents to trap soot particles from circulating.
  6. Separate Smoke-Damaged Clothes: Set aside smoke-damaged clothing for professional dry cleaning.

What Not to Do After Fire Damage:

  1. Don’t Clean Soot Yourself: Attempting to clean soot without professional tools can cause further damage.
  2. Avoid Using Electronics: Wait until a professional has inspected and confirmed they’re safe to use.
  3. Don’t Clean Carpets or Upholstery: Cleaning these items improperly can make the damage worse.
  4. Avoid Wet Ceiling Fixtures: If the ceiling is wet, do not use fixtures attached to it to prevent electrical hazards.
  5. Don’t Touch Soot-Damaged Surfaces: Oils from your skin can make soot damage permanent.

Understanding Smoke Damage from the Recent Los Angeles Fires

The recent fires in Los Angeles have left countless homes damaged by fire and smoke. Understanding the types of smoke damage property owners might face is critical for effective restoration. Each type of smoke damage requires specialized techniques to ensure your home is restored safely and completely.

Common Types of Smoke Damage from the Los Angeles Fires:

Wet Smoke Damage

  • Cause: Slow-burning, low-heat fires often associated with smoldering materials like damp vegetation or debris.
  • Effects: Thick, sticky soot that smears and clings to surfaces, leaving stubborn stains.
  • Challenges: Cleaning wet smoke residue requires advanced techniques and specialized equipment to prevent further damage to walls, ceilings, and furniture.

Dry Smoke Damage

  • Cause: Fast-burning, high-temperature fires that consumed large amounts of dry vegetation and structures.
  • Effects: Powdery soot that spreads widely and penetrates porous materials like drywall, carpets, and upholstery.
  • Challenges: While easier to clean than wet smoke, dry smoke can be difficult to fully remove from porous surfaces and often leaves behind lingering odors.

Protein Smoke Damage

  • Cause: Fires in kitchens or areas with food storage, such as pantry or dining spaces.
  • Effects: Invisible residues that tarnish surfaces and create strong, persistent odors.
  • Challenges: Removing protein smoke requires deodorization and careful cleaning to eliminate the odor completely.

Oil-Based Smoke Damage

  • Cause: Fires involving oil or grease, commonly in garages or storage areas.
  • Effects: Sticky, discolored residues that adhere to walls, floors, and appliances.
  • Challenges: This type of damage requires thorough cleaning to prevent permanent staining and further deterioration.

Residual Smoke Damage

  • Cause: Lingering smoke particles and odors trapped in the home’s materials after the visible soot is cleaned.
  • Effects: Persistent odors that affect indoor air quality and overall habitability.
  • Solutions: Specialized deodorization methods, such as ozone treatment or thermal fogging, are essential to neutralize these odors and improve air quality.
