Fire and smoke damage  restoration is a complex and intricate process.  Scene Kleen technicians go through a process when evaluating smoke and fire damage, determining first the types of smoke involved, and extent of smoke and soot that has saturated your building.  From this a plan of restoration can then begin.

Scene Kleen professionals understand building construction and have the necessary knowledge of building systems to understand where and how fire and smoke may have travelled within the structure.

Additionally, not all types of fires and the resulting smoke are the same.  Some fires burn hotter than others, which affects the nature and penetration of the smoke .  Of special importance are the exact types of materials that burned.  Modern homes and furniture contain complex plastic and polycarbonate materials that when burned, combine to produce intensely toxic gasses such as hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide, and a list of other gasses that are potent neurotoxins and carcinogens.  These details must be found so that proper removal methods are used in the repair and restoration process. 

This level of understanding of the nature of fire and the type of smoke involved is part of what sets Scene Kleen apart from other providers.  Be sure to ask contractor who is giving you an estimate about the type of smoke involved, and judge for yourself how well-informed they are compared to us.
