Industry leading fire damage technology
Fires will create a number of secondary issues to your property. In the wake of a property fire, it’s very common that you will find fire damage, smoke damage as well as ash and soot damage. Our soot and ash cleaning technology includes HEPA air filtration systems. This specific technology removes the soot and ash particles from the air or from a surface. Completely removing any harmful particles that may have been present. Without indirectly redistributing them into the air.
As well as air filtration and vacuum technology we can also deploy the patented BioSweep technology. Fires will often create unpleasant lingering odour created by soot and ash, as well as smoke. In some cases the odour can be so bad that it renders the property uninhabitable. BioSweep technology will remove 100% of the odour. In addition to the odour removal it also decontaminates the air. Eliminating bacteria, viruses, pathogens, mould spores, etc.
Our experienced and qualified technicians will adopt the best methods for removing soot and ash. Preventing further damage in the process. With the use of HEPA rated filtration equipment, we ensure that all ash and soot particles are actually removed from the area. Not just redeposited around the building. Causing further issues and prolonging the cleanup process.
Once on site, we will strip-out where required, clean and restore – ensuring a thoroughly cleaned, decontaminated and safe environment for you to return to with minimal disruption.
Potential Dangers
If left untreated, both soot and ash can cause further damage to the property. As the particles for both are so small, they can easily be ground into the fibres of materials. Resulting in staining and making them much harder to remove. They also both present serious health risks. Due to their particularly small particle size, they are easily inhaled into the lungs. This can cause respiratory issues. Exposure to soot has also been linked to various skin cancers.
The soot created by a fire can be extremely corrosive. Quickly finding out how to remove soot off walls and hiring an expert soot cleaners will mitigate the danger of secondary damage. Avoiding secondary damage will reduce potential costs and ensure your property can be returned a habitable condition as soon as possible.
Soot and ash also pose further potential risks. They contain highly toxic chemicals that are capable of contaminating the environment. This is another factor that must be considered. Hiring a professional fire damage cleaning company as quickly as possible will protect both your property and the environment.
Personalised damage remediation service
The extent of the post fire damage can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. Pairing this with the fact that no two properties are the same, means that the service must be altered to achieve the best results. Smoke damage is another key factor that must be considered and worked around. The particles created by the fire and smoke can become engrained in surfaces. Depending on the type of surface affected, we will use different methods to clean. If we need to remove soot from fabric we can use a combination of HEPA filter vacuums and decontamination technology to ensure a thorough and comprehensive clean.
Ideal Response take the safety of our technicians very seriously. We will not fail to provide our fire damage experts with the best personal protective equipment available. Due to the harmful respiratory problems that can be caused by the particles, air filters and masks will be distributed if needed. Our priority is making sure our technicians feel safe and get home safely to their families each night. We find that when our technicians feel safe and comfortable, they do their best and most efficient work. By making sure our technicians are taken care of we are indirectly guaranteeing you the best service we can provide.
Sometimes, once the ash and soot have been cleared away, a lingering foul odour can persist. We also offer an odour neutralisation service which is guaranteed to eliminate 100% of all soot and ash odours .
