Fire

FIRE RESTORATION:
Cooking fires, electrical shorts, furnace malfunctions, and dryer fires are a few of the events that can result in soot damage to your home. Even the smallest of fires can generate significant amounts of smoke and odor. If not properly treated, painted surfaces and laminates may stain permanently; upholstery, textiles and carpets may continue to retain odor; and electronics may cease to function properly. The costs can escalate rapidly. In cases such as these, you need professional assistance.

We will evaluate the loss, create a customized service plan and go to work cleaning and restoring your home back to its pre-loss condition.

Protein Fires:
Proteins found in meats, eggs, milk, and beans are primarily composed of amino acids containing nitrogen and sulfur compounds. Many of these protein compounds have the characteristics of producing pungent and persistent fumes and gases when burned. It is common for fires to consume proteins and release distinctive odors that pose a unique challenge for the professional restorer.

The smoke generated by a protein fire consists of an oily residue that, due to its microscopic particle size, can penetrate deep into porous surfaces. These yellowish/brown residues are difficult to find and even more difficult to remove. The fire restoration technicians at PuroClean understand the nature of this problem. We know where to find the odor sites, as well as how to remove them. Wet cleaning techniques and solutions are often employed, as well as removing cabinets and appliances. The use of Ozone gas to chemically neutralize the odor may be required to successfully remedy these difficult odors.

Puffbacks:
What is a Puffback?
A Puffback is the accidental discharge of soot into your home due from a malfunction in your heating system. They can occur with oil or gas furnaces, forced air or hot water baseboard heat. The soot is comprised of tiny particles of the incomplete combustion (PIC’s) of the heating fuel and is usually an oily, black residue. Due to the small particle size, soot is often carried throughout the living space on normal convection currents and is deposited on all interior surfaces, insides of cabinets, on the surface and beneath carpets, furniture, and contents.

Our Restoration Technicians will perform a thorough inspection and formulate a service plan to completely remove the soot from the structure and contents, professionally clean the carpet and upholstery, and return your home to its pre-loss condition.
