Commercial Smoke, Odor and Soot Removal
Soot, the black powdery residue made up of impure carbon particles, is produced by the incomplete burning of organic matters like wood and oil. This substance is released during the fire event and sticks to every surface of your facility and equipment. If left untreated, soot’s acidic particles can affect the well-being of your property, electronics and workforce.
To begin the smoke removal and soot cleaning stage of the fire damage restoration process, Cotton GDS will first use air scrubbers with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters to remove impurities and odors in the air.
Next, using HEPA vacuums, crews will efficiently trap dirt, soot and dust particles that blanket your floor and other surfaces of the building, as well as the HVAC system. For extra measures, Cotton GDS will also wipe all vertical and horizontal surfaces of the affected area with approved chemicals that clean and remove odors.
If a business has valuable equipment or furniture that needs to be salvaged, Cotton GDS will carefully remove the remnants from the valuables and ensure they are restored to their pre-event condition.
All this is completed in tandem with other fire damage restoration services to expedite the recovery process and limit business interruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
+ Should I call my insurance first after soot & smoke damage?
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Cotton GDS recommends getting a professional restoration contractor on site as fast as possible. Your insurance company wants you to be proactive when it comes to dealing with damage to your commercial property and delaying your call to a professional restoration contractor can cause more damage.
+ What does fire damage cleaning & restoration entail?
Cotton GDS provides turnkey fire damage restoration and recovery services for all commercial properties. This includes cleaning and removing soot and smoke damage, rebuilding damaged structures and cleaning and conserving your company’s assets. Fire damages are often accompanied by water and chemical damage from firefighting efforts, which is why we also provide water damage restoration, drying and cleanup services.
+ Is it safe to enter my commercial property before soot & smoke damage mitigation?
Cotton GDS strongly advises you to avoid re-entering your business or commercial property after a fire. Beyond the risk of smoke inhalation, fire, soot and smoke can weaken a building, increasing the possibility of your property collapsing and causing injuries.
