SMOKE DAMAGE RESTORATION and Soot Removal is an extremely important part of the process. Smoke odors and soot can permeate the building materials and items within a structure, even in areas that were not burned, leaving behind residues that cause odor, damage materials and stain fabrics. Soot must be removed quickly before it can further damage or stain. Odor Removal can be obtained with the proper cleaning and professional air filtration systems once the contaminated materials are removed.
