You will not want to enter your home or business until all the smoke is cleared from your premises, since it will not be healthy to breathe the accompanying fumes from burned materials. Call a professional fire and smoke damage restoration company like SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville right away to ensure that your property is completely free from the after-effects of the fire as soon as possible. We can also remove those unpleasant lingering odors, and that is important for both home and business owners, too. 

What Is The First Step In Managing The Unpleasant Odors That Come From Smoke Damage?

• The first and most important step in smoke odor removal is to remove all sources of the odor. This will include removing items that have been burned, such as cabinets, furniture, drywall, and anything that is non-salvageable. The items can then be either discarded or restored, depending on their condition. 
• Our fire technicians will then clean the salvageable items with the appropriate products. We will clean inside cabinets, drawers, and closets, and wash household items, too. Carpets, furniture, and upholstery are usually cleaned off-site. All these steps should be taken right away so that the odors do not penetrate any materials deeply - this makes them much harder to get rid of later. 
• Smoke, soot, and odors from a fire will penetrate the duct system and any dust or other particles existing inside the system. Cleaning the ducts early in the odor removal process is therefore essential to prevent the HVAC system from re-contaminating areas that have been cleaned.
