Fire Smoke Odour Removal Professional Services

We guarantee an excellent level of service and outstanding results every time.

Prior to commencing the cleaning process, our professionals do a risk assessment to determine the origin of the odour and any possible hazards in the area. Our primary focus is the safety of our clients; therefore, we ensure that any job we do is secure and in everyone's best interests.

After determining the type of smoke damage and the dangers present, we start the cleaning procedure, which entails a 6-stage treatment plan. This may change to meet your needs depending on the stability of the building's structure.

Our modern equipment and industrial-grade treatments guarantee that the odour-removal process is quick and efficient. Our cleaners will flush out soot and smoke residue on the property and dispose of any contaminated items off-site.

Who is most at risk from smoke odours?

Inhaling smoke can have a detrimental impact on anyone, but there are groups of people who may suffer from the more severe consequences of the odour. You must not remain on a property that smells of smoke or was impacted by smoke damage — this is because of the toxins and chemicals present in the soot particles in the air. The following people should stay away from smoke odours:

• Asthmatics
• People with heart disease
• People with lung disease
• Elderly people
• Children
• Infants
• New-born babies
• Pregnant individuals

If anyone on your property belongs to these groups, they are at the most risk of smoke odours. Anyone living in a smoke-damaged property must find temporary accommodation, which you can contact your local council about for advice.

What are the health risks of smoke odour?

Inhaling significant amounts of soot, which includes tiny chemical particles, can cause damage to the lungs. After interacting with soot in any way, your skin is also susceptible to irritation or dermatitis.

Asthmatics or those with weakened immune systems are vulnerable because of pre-existing medical conditions. Following extended exposure, you could begin to suffer symptoms like:

• Coughing
• Eye irritation
• Skin irritability
• Pain in the chest
• Breathing issues
• Headaches
• Sore throat
• Nosebleeds

Staying in a house with smoke or fire damage could increase your chances of experiencing these symptoms. Long-term illnesses might emerge later, including a high risk of cancer, lung disorders, and breathing difficulties.

How smoke odours can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning

When you burn organic fuels like wood or coal, you may notice black smoke coming off the flames, which is carbon produced from incomplete combustion. The particles remain in the air when this smoke collects in a clogged chimney or a house fire. When these particles hit a surface, they form a black stain containing chemicals and toxins.

Tar, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are a few of the compounds that carbon produces. Carbon monoxide gets trapped in the home during a chimney or house fire and is undetected without a carbon monoxide monitor. Exposure to carbon monoxide by touching or inhaling lingering smoke odours might result in serious symptoms like:

• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Stomach pains
• Confusion
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Shortness of breath
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures
