Q: What can be salvaged after smoke damage?

• <div><p>Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-to-throw-away-after-smoke-damage.htm">things you should throw away after a fire</a>, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;re damaged. </p></div>

Q: What is the process of fire restoration?

• <div><p>The first step is removing water or chemical residue, if applicable, after extinguishing. Next, your professional will clean up soot, remove damaged materials, treat the smoke damage, and complete any necessary structural repairs. After that, your pro will begin the build-back process and install finishes to restore your home to its previous condition.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if my dryer catches on fire?

• <div><p>Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don&rsquo;t open or touch the dryer. If you can&rsquo;t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home&rsquo;s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn&rsquo;t any damage.</p></div>

Q: How does ozone treatment remove smoke smells?

• <div><p>Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive, unstable gas that neutralizes odors by oxidizing the organic compounds it comes into contact with. During this oxidation process, ozone &quot;donates&quot; its extra oxygen molecule to the smoke particles, effectively eliminating their smell, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. While ozone can be effective for removing smoke smells from building materials and belongings like wood furniture, this treatment is best left to a professional, as improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health.</p></div>

Q: Can I restore fire or smoke damage myself?

• <div><p>DIY restoration for small areas is possible with proper safety gear and equipment, though comprehensive damage benefits from professional restoration.</p></div>

"Dani and his company are amazing and I would definitely hire him again. Super professional and gave great repair options rather than try to sell me new items I didn’t need. Damaged cap blew off in the winter and we needed regular chimney sweep and repair stuff also. He gave me a great price and options. He was well organized and worked with my schedule so o get the job done. If you need an estimate for work, definitely include him because he’s great."
