Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Buford & Lawrenceville, GA

What fire damage restoration includes

Fire restoration is really four jobs running in parallel, and skipping any one of them leaves a house that still smells like the fire a year later.

• Emergency board-up and tarping to secure openings against weather and intrusion.
• Water extraction and structural drying to remove firefighting water before it causes secondary mold damage.
• Soot and smoke residue removal using dry sponges, alkaline cleaners and abrasive methods matched to each surface type.
• Contents cleaning and pack-out for furniture, electronics, clothing and documents that can be restored off site.
• Deodorization with hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging and ozone where appropriate, plus full HVAC duct cleaning.
• Reconstruction — drywall, framing, flooring, cabinetry, paint and trim to return the space to pre-loss condition.

Why smoke odor comes back without professional treatment

Smoke particles are microscopic and travel wherever air travels — into wall cavities, under carpet pad, inside ductwork and into the pores of unsealed wood and drywall. Surface cleaning and air freshener will mask the smell for a few weeks, then heat and humidity reactivate it. Real deodorization means removing the source material, cleaning every affected surface, treating the air with hydroxyl or ozone technology, and sealing substrates that cannot be replaced.
