Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Northwest Arkansas

Even a small fire can result in a large amount of smoke damage. Left untreated, the acidic nature of smoke residue can damage most surfaces and materials including glass, metal, countertops, natural stone, and appliances. Permanent damage resulting in etching, pitting, and rust are common, and prompt action is necessary to neutralize the smoke and soot residue to mitigate the damage. 

Smoke odors can be one of the most difficult issues to address after a fire. The microscopic smoke particles that cause odor can reach into every corner of a room, settling into cracks, outlets and fixtures; permeating carpet, furniture, bedding, clothing, and drapery fabrics; and lingering on nearly every surface available. Effectively treating and removing smoke odors is an extensive process best left to the professionals with the right equipment to target and neutralize the odor-causing smoke particles.

How Fire & Smoke Damage Impact Your Health

Attempting to cleanup fire and smoke damage yourself can have a negative impact on your health. Those with respiratory conditions like asthma should avoid fire-damaged areas, and anyone entering the area should wear appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid inhaling airborne particles that can include dust, chemicals, organic acids, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can lead to long-term health issues.
