Why Fire and Smoke Cleanup Requires Certified Experts?
Fire cleanup isn’t just about appearance—it’s about safety. Smoke particles are acidic and can corrode surfaces, electronics, and HVAC systems. Soot contains carcinogens that pose health risks if inhaled or touched. Without professional remediation, these substances continue to damage your home long after the fire is out.
Our certified technicians in Pennsylvania use specialized techniques and equipment to remove all traces of smoke, soot, and toxic residues—making your property clean, safe, and habitable again.
What Happens During a Fire and Smoke Cleanup?
At Advanced Disaster Recovery Inc., we follow a comprehensive process that addresses both visible and hidden damage:
- Damage Assessment: We evaluate the full scope of fire, smoke, and water damage (from extinguishing efforts).
- Containment: Barriers are installed to prevent soot from spreading to unaffected areas.
- Soot Removal: We use dry sponges, HEPA vacuums, and chemical sponges depending on the material.
- Air Scrubbing: HEPA air scrubbers filter out harmful particles and improve indoor air quality.
- Odor Elimination: Thermal fogging and ozone treatments neutralize smoke odors at the molecular level.
- Sanitization: All affected surfaces are disinfected and sealed when needed to prevent future odor reactivation.
We tailor this process to your specific needs, whether you have a single-family home, rental unit, or commercial property.
Common Causes of Residential and Commercial Fires in Pennsylvania
Our teams frequently respond to fire and smoke damage caused by:
- Kitchen and grease fires
- Electrical faults and overloaded outlets
- Heating system malfunctions or space heaters
- Smoking-related incidents
- Appliance fires and faulty wiring in older homes
- Nearby wildfires or building-to-building spread in dense neighborhoods
Each of these scenarios requires specific cleanup approaches, depending on the type of smoke (wet, dry, protein, petroleum-based) and the building materials involved.
Why DIY Fire Cleanup Often Makes Things Worse?
It’s natural to want to clean up the damage yourself, but doing so can actually spread soot, embed odors deeper into porous surfaces, and create long-term problems. Smoke and soot require careful handling with professional tools—otherwise, you may risk making the damage irreversible.
At-home solutions typically don’t reach HVAC systems, behind walls, or into furniture padding where smoke lingers. Our team uses commercial-grade equipment and IICRC-certified protocols to remove contamination the right way.
