Fire Damage Cleanup in Downtown Knoxville Homes
Cleaning up after fire loss events can often involve multiple stages and actions taken by our technicians. Returning your home to preloss condition means much more than overcoming heaps of debris and ash on the floors of the property. Soot and smoke residues settle on surfaces and contents and require removal to protect these underlying materials. There are multiple strategies for eliminating soot, some of which include:
- Abrasive cleaning
- Emulsification with solvents
- Dissolving with detergents
- Controlled demolition
