Emergency Fire Damage Restoration in Spanish Fork & Utah County, UT

Each home or business may contain different materials that burn and create their own cleaning and restoration challenges. Listed below are the four main categories of fire and smoke damage:

• Natural substance smoke residue: Paper, wood, and other materials containing the same components can all be used to create fire. The color of these residues is generally black and gray. These smoke residues may be cleaned using a specialized vacuum, appropriate chemicals, and a dry chemical sponge. Reader beware: smoke particles may be as small as .004 microns in diameter.  It’s not an issue if the smoke particles settle in the walls’ cavities, but each one releases a smoke odor.
• Protein substance smoke residue: When burned, chicken, beef, and other meats produce a dirty mess. Protein residue cleaning requires training and an understanding of protein residue cleaning procedures.
• Synthetic substance smoke residue: Simply put, any variety of plastic or derivative of plastic when burned becomes chalky and gritty to the touch. Cleaning this sort of smoke residue may be difficult and necessitate specialized training, equipment, and procedures.
• Oil burner malfunction residue: This residue, often known as a “puff-back,” occurs when an oil burner misfires and then spews partially burned oil residue throughout the HVAC system, frequently spreading it through the home.
