Fires can cause a lot of damage to a building and its contents. Along with the physical damage, there is the problem of smoke contamination. Smoke can travel through walls, ceilings, and other structures, leaving behind a residue that can be hazardous to your health. The longer the smoke remains in the building, the more damage it can cause. Therefore, it is important to remove the smoke and ensure that it is fully remediated after a fire. Triton Renovation has more than 40 years of smoke restoration services. Learn more about ensuring the smoke from a commercial fire is fully remediated below, and contact us today!
How to Ensure The Smoke Is Fully Remediated After a Fire
How to Ensure The Smoke Is Fully Remediated After a Fire
Seal Off the Burned Area
The first step in smoke remediation for your commercial space is to seal off the affected area. This will prevent smoke from spreading to other parts of the building. Once the area is sealed off, it is important to open the windows to allow fresh air in. This will help to speed up the process of removing the smoke.
Clear Out the Contents
Once the area is sealed off and the windows are open, it is important to clear out any debris and furniture in your office that has been damaged by the fire. This will allow the smoke to escape more easily. The furniture and debris should be placed in a sealed container to prevent the smoke from spreading further.
Use an Air Purifier
After the furniture and debris are cleared, the next step is to use an air purifier to remove the smoke. The purifier will help to trap particles in the air and remove them from the environment. It is important to make sure that the purifier is set to the highest setting in order to remove as much of the smoke as possible.
Scrub The Smoke Contaminated Area
Once the air purifier is in place, it is important to clean the walls, ceilings, and other surfaces affected by the fire in your business. This should be done using a special detergent that is designed to remove soot and other residues from the surfaces. The smoke remediation team will most likely be wearing protective clothing and a face mask when cleaning these surfaces in order to prevent any further smoke contamination in other areas of your business.
Use an Ozone Generator
An ozone generator is used to remove any lingering smoke odor. The ozone generator will release ozone into the air, which will help to break down any remaining smoke particles. This will help to eliminate the smoke odor and ensure that the area is safe to inhabit once again.
