Fires are unfortunate occurrences that no one wants to have take place within their property. You may never know if a fire may arise, so you need to be prepared to take action if need be. Our 24-hour emergency response service can assist you in recovery after a fire. Our team will arrive on site with a mobilized emergency response truck. The truck is packed with everything from gas powered generators to plywood, tarps, and anything else to secure broken doors or windows. We perform emergency board-up to minimize future damage from rain, wind, or theft.
Our fire and smoke services include odor control and content cleaning from top to bottom. We use proper cleaning solutions to restore contents as well as structures that are salvageable. We will also pack out and store your property and clean items at our facility if need be. This allows us to move clean items back to a clean home when everything is restored.
Behavior of Smoke
A fire loss is very complex because of the unique behavior of smoke. That is why it is important to have trained technicians on site at the loss location. Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure. Smoke flows through plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor. There are different forms of smoke that can affect the restoration process in different ways. Our trained and certified technicians will use the correct techniques to restore your property efficiently.
Types of Smoke
The first step at a fire scene is to calm the fears of those affected. Next, C&C Complete Services will tests the smoke to see which of the following types of fire took place.
- Wet Smoke - Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
- Dry Smoke - Quick burning at high temperatures.
- Protein - Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes. Extreme pungent odor.
- Fuel Oil Soot - Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot.
- Other Types - Tear gas, fingerprint power and fire extinguisher residue are other types.
