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 removal is the most important part of this fire restoration process. While the physical elements of the fire damage like the soot and ash, can be scrubbed clean with special cleansers and solvents, smoke proves particularly tricky to control. This is because different types of smoke move to different areas of the property, depending on their type and composition. These deferent types of smoke will need varying procedures to eliminate. An experienced smoke removal company is qualified to remove all traces of smoke from all corners of the home, and balance the air quality of the property again.
A professional smoke damage repair company will be equipped with knowledge of the methods used to identified and isolate the various types of smoke and the best methods for their removal. A hot smoke produced by a raging fire for instance, will migrate to the upper parts of the house, making it harder to eliminate because it will find a way to the rest of the house through pipes. Other types of fire include the slow ones that produce wet smoke with a deep pungent odor, and fast burning fires that produce wet smoke. A smoke removal company makes use of special techniques to identify these types and eliminate all traces from the structure.
After the identification of the types of smoke, your smoke removal contractor will then begin to use specialized processes to remove all traces of smoke from your property. A process called thermal fogging which involves opening the pores of the walls to let out smoke is made use of. If your walls have insulation, these might have to be replaced, because the smoke odors are retained in the insulation padding. A specialist smoke removal company will have the techniques at their disposal, and the methods to get rid of smoke from your property.
