Fire and smoke damage — Chicago, IL

Smoke remediation in Chicago homes involves a multi-stage process. Technicians start with a thorough assessment of smoke particle types, categorizing them as either dry smoke, wet smoke, or protein-based. They then employ specialized equipment like HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove loose soot and neutralize odors using ozone generators or thermal fogging. This meticulous cleaning targets all affected surfaces, including HVAC systems, to prevent lingering smells. The goal is to return the air quality to pre-loss conditions.
