Whether it is a house fire or a commercial building, fire damage can be devastating and can have a huge impact on your property and your life. In addition to the visual and physical damage, soot damage and smoke damage to the ceiling, walls and furniture, fire damage can also have secondary effects that can lead to health problems.
In the event of a fire, it is vital that action is taken immediately, the sooner you call in the professionals the less serious the damage to your building becomes. A professional fire damage cleaning service is a stress-free way to deal with the devastating effects. Fast reliable and efficient a team is able to come in and completely eliminate any traces of soot or smoke while neutralizing any lingering odours.
The longer you leave a fire damaged property the worse the damages will be. Soot and smoke will continue to wreak havoc for a while after the incident. Ash residue corrodes surfaces over time and if not professionally cleaned your possessions, walls, furniture etc may be left permanently discoloured. Clothes and upholstered furniture will be unsalvageable and any wood finishes, paint etc will need to be redone.
Staying in a property that has had a fire whether you can visibly see smoke damage or not can be a serious risk to your health. Smoke contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and soot these chemicals linger in the air and prolonged exposure to these smoke particles can cause respiratory distress as well as skin irritation.
As well as the health risks of staying in a fire-damaged property you are also at risk of structural dangers. When structural steel is exposed to flames it will lose its strength and stiffness, this causes excessive or permanent deformation which can lead to a structural collapse. By continuing to use a fire-damaged building you are putting yourself at serious risk.
