Make sure you clean up the mess and try to dry powder fire extinguisher out the furniture or carpeting. Especially if the water came from the outside; water from outside is not clean and will definitely be carrying bacteria. So, drying isn’t all that has to happen, but disinfecting and cleaning. Then it’s off to prevention!
Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration If the delicacy and detail of managing the drying and restoration of a historical or archived book seems daunting, find a service that can professionally restore books instead.
One of the primary effects of smoke is the smell it leaves behind. This smell will be embedded into the fabrics of your home, but those are easy enough — if expensive — to replace. The problem comes in the areas where replacement can be difficult, like the drywall and the ceiling tiles. These materials will soak up the fumes as well and they can cause your house to smell like a barbecue long after the flames have been extinguished. If this is the case in your home, you may need to rip out and replace any of the structural elements that have absorbed this odor.
Storm Damage Restoration Restoring wood furniture that has only been damaged from smoke is actually really easy. First, use a solvent such as denatured alcohol or paint thinner to clean off smoke stains. Only clean a small area of each piece of furniture at a time and rub the solvent on the wood thoroughly. Once the stain is gone, clean the surface a second time using a damp cloth. Then use a different cloth to dry the furniture. Once it is dry, polish the furniture.
Once you have determined that the areas are wet (walls and carpet), you’ll need to bring in special designed carpet air movers and commercial dehumidifiers (a rental center will have them). Now please understand that a home residential dehumidifier and a regular house fan will not do the same. I have experimented with using these products and have found out that they do not come close to what the other machines do. The air fans are then placed under the carpet and placed to the wall (wall base removed and holes drilled under the wall base line). The commercial dehumidifier is placed in the room. Again an IICRC certified Water Damage Restoration Contractor has these equipments.
Brown stains on the walls or ceilings. Brown stains are the biggest indicator of water damage in your home. These stains often develop in areas where water is constantly dripping and running down the wall or ceiling. There could be a leak behind a wall or in the ceiling. There could also be a spot where water stands when it rains. In any case, brown spots are bad news. You will have to get someone to check behind the walls or in the ceiling. Hopefully, they will be able to find and repair the source of the leak.
