Fire and smoke restoration is a task that Melbourne homeowners need to take seriously. The more logical and practical step for homeowners is to get in touch with trained professionals that focus on restoring properties damaged by fire.

Fire and smoke restoration isn’t a simple task, particularly when the property has severe smoke damage to be cleaned and restored. Proper removal of soot and smoke from the house is one of the first tasks to be completed. Soot is the general term for contaminated airborne particles generated by combustion or burning. It’s considered a health hazard, particularly to the respiratory system. It can be eliminated from the house with the help of an industrial or heavy-duty vacuum cleaner. Soot needs to be removed right away before doing any deodorising process. Proper ventilation throughout the property is also required, so it’s important to keep doors, vents, and windows open.

Properly deodorising fabrics like draperies, furniture, carpets, and clothes are necessary to remove the smoke odour altogether. Smoke odour can linger in fabrics for a long time if not appropriately deodorised.

Wet Carpet Cleaners has technicians available 24 hours a day who are trained and certified to respond quickly to your emergency. They will assess the damage, board up windows, secure the premises, clean and deodorise carpets, upholstery, drapes, walls, and ceilings. Fire damage clean-up can be a long process, so we emphasise safety precautions for your family or business.

Aside from removing odour and soot from fabrics, there might still be fire damage beneath the walls. If the case is severe, fire and smoke restoration specialists typically resort to thermal fogging using a machine that removes smoke odours trapped within the walls.

Aside from walls and carpets, other parts of the property need to be evaluated by professionals to guarantee appropriate cleaning and restoration. Vents, ducts as well as attic insulation might require replacement. A comprehensive inspection of fire damage professionals will provide homeowners with a clear picture of the items that can be saved and those that should be replaced.

As mentioned, fire and smoke restoration is not an easy task. Thus, giving the job to a professional is the best thing you can do to ensure that the property and the items inside the house will be cleaned and restored correctly.
