Putting out a fire is easy, but getting rid of the smoke is not. Smoke causes not only irreversible damage but can pose risks to your health. By hiring Dryman Restoration for your smoke damage removal services, you are not only restoring your home but also protecting your own and your family’s well-being.
Effects Smoke Damage Can Have on Your Home
Smoke damage can leave lasting effects on your home. It can cause irreversible damage to mirrors and glass windows, in addition to being a difficult odor to remove. Smoke damages wood and metal furniture, meaning that soot particles can rust and corrode metal while weakening wooden surfaces. It can also permanently discolor walls and wallpaper.
One of the more serious effects smoke can have on your home is the risk it poses to your drywall and insulation. Once smoke reaches these areas, it can be incredibly difficult to remove not only the odor but also the lingering effects without professional help, due to how porous drywall is. Dryman Restoration offers expert smoke damage removal services in an effort to get you back not only your home but your life.
Effects Smoke Damage Can Have on Your Health
Smoke and soot are highly toxic and represent grave health hazards. Smoke releases dangerous chemicals such as benzene, toluene, sulfur dioxide, PAHs, and acid gasses, just to name a few. Immediate direct contact with smoke or smoke residue can result in skin issues, such as skin irritations that range from mild rashes to severe allergic reactions.
More prolonged exposure causes neurological effects such as headaches, dizziness, or even cognitive impairment. Smoke causes respiratory irritation and shortness of breath. It can also worsen pre-existing medical conditions like asthma or heart disease, as well as being harmful to infants and the elderly. It’s important to address smoke damage early on in order to avoid these complications.
Why Smoke Removal Should Be Left to the Professionals
Smoke damage leaves behind many indicators, and it can be much more hazardous to remove than it may seem. If removal is not performed correctly, the health effects of smoke could linger for years. Just because residue is invisible to the eye does not mean it’s not at work. It may only become visible once it is too late, and acid has already begun to eat into the contents of your home.
This is why it is the safest and most effective option to outsource trained professionals. Dryman Restoration is trained in specialized techniques and has the proper equipment in order to properly remove smoke damage from your home without causing any further harm.
Smoke Damage Services Offered by Dryman Restoration
Dryman offers every service you may need when it comes to smoke damage restoration. Our service begins with a smoke damage inspection. This is when a trained professional is sent to your home in order to conduct a thorough inspection of the damage done. This is done to determine exactly which cleaning method is needed in order to maximize efficiency and completely remove the stains and associated odors.
Our next step is to clean up the soot and get rid of the smoke damage itself. We first focus on removing anything that can’t be salvaged. Next, we remove all lingering residues and stains. The third step in our restoration process is deodorization. This is when we remove the smell of smoke, completely eliminating any stench left behind.
The last step is to completely restore everything else that was affected by the smoke. This includes replacing and repairing all damaged materials, or even a complete remodeling of the property. We will leave your property looking as good as new.
