The Stages of the Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Process

Smoke Odor Removal & Professional Deodorization

We remove smoke odors with specialized equipment, like foggers, ozone generators, and hydroxyl generators.

Emergency Cleaning & Sanitation

We remove soot, dust, and debris from your property, leaving it clean and fresh.

Pack-Outs and Contents Cleaning

Salvageable items affected by the fire will need to be removed. We will pack out those items and furnishings. Depending on the available space and amount of items removed, cleaning and restoring those items may occur on or off-site.

Temporary Protection/Board-Up

Many times a fire affects the roof, walls, and windows of your home or business. To protect your space, we will board up the windows and provide roof tarping. 

Carpet and Pad Removal

Soot can be very difficult to remove from carpet. Sometimes the carpet is salvageable. If not, we will remove the carpet and padding underneath. 

Puff-Back Cleaning

A malfunctioning oil furnace may suddenly expel soot and debris. Allow us to professionally clean this oily, sticky mess. 

Reconstruction

Once fire damage restoration is complete, it is time to return your property to normal. Our construction team will provide the necessary repairs and rebuilding, with complete project management services.

Step-by-Step: How Smoke and Fire Damage Restoration Actually Happens

Step 1: Remove Burned Materials – Non-salvageable items are carefully discarded to eliminate odor sources.

Step 2: Clean Salvageable Contents – We use specialized techniques to clean and restore personal property.

Step 3: Clean Air Ducts – Smoke-contaminated HVAC systems are cleaned to restore air quality.

Step 4: Remove Lingering Odors – Using tools like:

  • Ozone Generators

Each method targets different types of smoke particles and ensures deep deodorization.

What is Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage refers to harm caused by soot and smoke particles, not direct flames. It leaves behind stains, corrosive residue, and a persistent odor that penetrates porous surfaces like fabrics, wood, and plastic. Quick response is critical to mitigate smoke’s long-term effects.

What Are the Types of Smoke Damage in Homes?

Wet Smoke: Heavy, sticky residue from burning rubber or plastic. Requires dehumidification and deep cleaning.
Dry Smoke: Powdery residue from paper or wood fires. Easier to remove with air scrubbers and filtration.
Protein Smoke: Invisible but pungent. Common in kitchen fires. Requires ozone or fogging treatment to fully eliminate odors.

The Impact of Smoke Damage on Your Property

Smoke can tarnish metal, yellow walls, and corrode surfaces in hours. Soft goods absorb odor fast. Within days, structural elements may require replacement. Timely intervention from PuroClean of Hempstead can preserve your home and reduce costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services

After emergency responders extinguish the fire and the scene is secure, your first two calls should be to your insurance company and a certified fire restoration provider, like PuroClean of Hempstead. Insurers require prompt reporting, and restoration professionals can begin mitigation immediately to prevent further loss. Quick action protects both safety and your ability to recover costs through your insurance policy.

Professional odor removal goes beyond surface cleaning. Techniques such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment chemically neutralize odor-causing molecules rather than masking them. These methods are selected based on the type of fire, the materials affected, and whether the property is occupied during restoration. Proper deodorization ensures odors do not return once the property is rebuilt.

Safety comes first. Do not re-enter the property until fire officials confirm it is safe to do so. Once cleared, a local, professional restoration company who will guide you through the process and assist in documentation for your insurance provider. Early steps such as securing the property, extracting water from firefighting efforts, and addressing soot damage help limit further loss and support your insurance claim.

In many cases, yes. Non-porous materials such as glass, metal, and stone often respond well to specialized cleaning. Porous items, including textiles, upholstery, and insulation, are more difficult and may need replacement. The sooner restoration begins, the better the chance of salvaging belongings, since soot and odor residues set deeper over time. Restoration professionals evaluate each item individually to determine whether cleaning or replacement is the best option.

The timeline varies significantly depending on the severity of the fire and the extent of damage. A contained fire in one room may take only a few days to clean and deodorize, while a larger structural fire that requires demolition, reconstruction, and content restoration can take several weeks or even months. The pace of restoration also depends on insurance approvals and the complexity of smoke or water damage.
