24/7 Emergency Service
Fires can be devastating events, causing severe damage to your home and threats to life. However, beyond the flames lies an equally urgent threat: smoke. Treating smoke damage requires a safe and proactive approach from a dedicated team of remediation experts.
With over 30 years of smoke damage restoration, Manhattan Flood Restoration combines industry-grade equipment and extensive knowledge of techniques that treat the root cause of your property’s smoke and soot damage.
Using specialist techniques, we’ll clean and sanitize each room, returning your building to its pre-loss state. We know that a rapid response is vital to successful remediation, and our 24/7 emergency team will attend your property, regardless of the time or day.
With us on your side, you can leave smoke and fire damage in the past.
Smoke damage restoration is treating a property for the effects of smoke exposure. It often occurs alongside the fire damage restoration process when properties are exposed to flames.
While small fires are easier to control, they still produce vast amounts of smoke, which can result in extensive property damage and destroy your personal items.
Many people notice the appearance of soot in their property and smoke-damaged belongings, but the remediation process aims to utilize various techniques that remove all traces of smoke and return the property to its pre-loss condition.
It’s important to remember that smoke can be invasive, and general cleaning isn’t enough to eliminate it from your property. Restoration companies like Manhattan dive deep into the problem and provide a full-service solution.
The first thing most people do when they see flames is call the fire department. While there’s no doubt that fire is incredibly dangerous – and potentially fatal – many underestimate the devastating impacts of smoke.
Leaving it in your property could have serious implications and risk your health.
You might notice remnants of smoke on your walls, but what lies behind them can cause ongoing damage. Smoke can penetrate your walls, ceiling, and floors, causing severe structural problems.
Leaving it to get worse will inevitably result in more expensive repairs, and your safety could be at risk. While a general cleaning company will remove visible traces of smoke and soot damage, they can’t eliminate it.
Nobody wants their home to look dirty, but smoke that settles onto your walls and ceiling fixtures will leave dark stains and clear discoloration patterns. Again, quick remediation is vital here because the longer it’s left, the more complex the smoke is to clean.
Simply painting over the stains masks the problem but doesn’t fix it. Generally, standard cleaning equipment won’t effectively remove the smoke, but we use industry-grade tools to expel any stains.
If you’ve ever dealt with smoke damage, you’ll know it causes a noticeable odor that seems to follow you. Smoke and soot odors can linger for a long time, and traditional cleaning is often ineffective.
In most cases, proper sanitization and deodorization equipment can salvage your personal belongings and get rid of the smell.
Smoke can also penetrate your electric appliances and interfere with internal components. The damage to these items could result in short circuits and cause electrical hazards.
While remediation won’t necessarily fix damaged electrics, it does mean we can identify items that need replacing and prevent further risks to your property and inhabitants.
Smoke contains a range of gasses and acidic features, making it highly dangerous when it seeps through your walls and floors. If it comes into contact with metals, the smoke can cause them to corrode, damaging pipe systems and appliances.
Treating the problem immediately prevents further damage and reduces potential repair costs, making smoke restoration services a priority during any emergency.
We all know the dangers of smoke inhalation, but lingering particles are also health hazards. If people are constantly breathing in these particles, it can result in respiratory issues. Individuals with asthma and other pre-existing conditions are even more susceptible to reactions.
Allergic reactions can also occur, with some people noticing their eyes and skin become irritated. Long-term exposure might impact the immune system, leading to higher risks of infections.
Having worked in the remediation and restoration industry for over 30 years, Manhattan Flood Restoration is one of New York’s most reputable services. We’ve supported residential and commercial properties of all sizes, using a tailored approach for all remediation jobs.
With a deep understanding of how fires can impact any building, we utilize a multi-pronged attack, treating the property and restoring it to pre-fire condition.
A house fire can be harrowing for everyone involved, whether minor or major. While most of these incidents are avoidable, electrical faults and storms can result in fires.
Emergency services will attend to your property and extinguish the flames, but our dedicated remediation experts are there for the recovery process. We support you from start to finish, meeting your insurance company on-site to explain the damage and get you the financial support you deserve.
The last thing anyone wants is for the hub of their business to become a no-go zone. Whether the damage occurs in an office, manufacturing environment, or retail store, smoke, and soot residue can drastically impact your operations.
We’ll thoroughly evaluate the building and devise a plan that gets your business up and running as soon as possible.
When you call us to your property, we'll assess the immediate and underlying damage to understand its severity. Our professionals are fully certified and know how to identify fire and smoke remnants that might not be visible on the surface. Understanding the source of your damage also allows us to identify potential hazards to your building's structural integrity, pipe systems, and appliances. We'll also try to isolate any areas where the damage initially occurs and document belongings with fire and smoke damage.
Smoke and soot particles can be toxic; regular cleaning isn't enough to remove them. We employ industry-grade air purification devices, including HEPA filters and air scrubbers, to enhance the air quality and eliminate airborne particles. Doing this enables us to purify the air and remove soot residue from the environment. As part of the restoration process, purification will also reduce lingering odors.
Smoke damage cleanup involves carefully removing soot from any surfaces. We'll check for discoloration and use advanced equipment to safely eradicate visible particles on the walls, floor, and ceiling. The amount of time this takes depends on the severity of the damage. Our main goal is to leave your property in its pre-loss condition, and we might need to treat numerous areas to remove the soot.
During the cleaning process, we'll identify damaged materials and use an appropriate method for each. Our access to various detergents means we offer seamless surface cleaning that addresses stains or discoloration. Again, we'll keep you updated throughout the drying process and give you a realistic timeframe once we assess the damage.
Once the cleaning process is complete, we'll deodorize the property to remove any lingering traces of smoke odor and ensure it's safe for inhabitants. We effectively utilize a range of high-grade deodorizers to freshen up your property.
A traditional cleaning company might be able to remove stains and odors, but Manhattan Flood Restoration specializes in overseeing structural repairs. As part of our smoke and fire restoration services, we'll develop and deploy a repair plan. Our network of contractors takes all of the stress away while still giving you control. If we can't salvage any belongings, we'll notify you first and help you with the insurance documentation.
When the work finishes, and you're happy with the results, you can return to your property. You'll then be able to replace any belongings and get back to your pre-damage life.
