Why Professionals Should Clean Smoke Damage From A Fire

When firefighters leave a property that has been damaged due to fire and smoke, it may seem like the danger has passed and the home is safe from further destruction, but without professionals to help clean the smoke damage, the building will never return to normal. While the principles behind fire restoration are fairly simple, it requires a lot of experience and manpower to perform adequately, and this means that it shouldn’t be attempted by a homeowner on his or her own.

The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) have compiled an article on why fire restoration would be left to the professionals to explore. Fire damage restoration doesn't just affect the bits you can see, it affects the bits you can't see. These are the bits that need the most attention. Water damage caused by the fire services in turn can cause damage far beyond initial remedial repairs if not dealt with beforehand.
