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 a major part of the fire damage restoration process. Because of the strange behavior of smoke, it's easier to get rid of traces of soot and ash in the structure and in your possessions, than it is to remove all traces of smoke from your property. The smoke not properly dealt with by a fire damage company can linger in the air for months after the disaster, spreading in the air and contaminating it with toxins. If left unchecked, these toxins from the smoke can cause allergies, and throat irritations in occupants of the property.
Cleaning up the smoke will begin with identifying the kind of smoke that has been produced in the fire. This will help your smoke removal company to understand the migration process of the smoke. Hot smoke usually moves to cooler upper parts of the structure, and makes its way to the parts of the house through plumbing pipes. This makes this sort of smoke harder to eliminate. It's marked by low heat, produces smoke that harder to clean and pungent in odor, while fast burning fire produces dry smoke. Only a smoke removal company will be equipped to identify these various types of smoke, and determine the best process for elimination.
Once the various kinds of smoke have been identified, your smoke remediation contractor will begin to use special methodologies to remove these traces of smoke. Thermal fogging, which involves the opening of the pores of the walls to neutralize the smoke is used, and this is a particularly effective process in smoke removal. Your belongings will have to be assessed to determine the extent of smoke damage and special chemicals are used to remove smoke form your carpets, upholstery, furniture and furnishings.
