Smoke & Smell
After a structure fire, most home and business owners are consumed with cleaning up the visible debris, failing to realize the bigger problem: soot and smoke damage. Soot and smoke particles that are released by fires can permeate and settle into flooring, seep into walls, and accumulate in ceilings and attics.
Soot and smoke can cause corrosion and discoloration to almost any surface including: plastic; fiberglass; metal; fibers, including carpeting, upholstery, and clothing; wood; and vinyl. In addition, soot and smoke that lingers behind walls and inside ceilings is overpowering and toxic.
The dedicated and skilled restoration team at J&R Contracting responds to smoke damaged structures with a sense of urgency so that your contents can be saved and salvaged.
