Fire Damage
If a professional isn’t hired to clean smoke and fire damage, the costs for restoration will skyrocket after a few weeks. Metals may need to be replaced, carpet will permanently discolor, and glass may be severely etched, which will necessitate replacement.
It will also become apparent that the odors caused by the disaster may still be present and intense enough to be distracting.
Because ash is acidic, the longer it takes to hire experts, the more destruction it will cause.
What we do
The first thing we do when on site is to identify all affected materials and the source of any odors.
The only way to properly clean smoke and fire damage is to be extremely thorough. Ash residue is easily disturbed and can spread through the building with ease, causing nearly everything to need restoration.
We will identify what can and cannot be salvaged and will remove any built-up ash residue that is coating surfaces. Over time, ash builds up in layers and may eventually form into a lacquer-like consistency.
Once this is done, we will locate the source of the odor and treat it with specialized detergents formulated for neutralizing this kind of odor.

American Response Team can clean smoke damage and restore items affected by a fire, but they must be brought to the site as soon as possible to halt the ongoing issues that ash residue can cause.
What happens if I don’t call right away?
