Fire & Smoke Best Practices
ECCE is a certified firm in smoke and fire remediation.
Step 1 - The source of the fire and or smoke damage must be removed from the scene. The fire source must always be removed as the first step in remediation.
Step 2 - Once the structural integrity of the scene is established it must be determined if the walls and ceilings can be cleaned utilizing a dry chemical sponge wipe down and degreasing application. If the drywall is to charred, then demolition is in order.
Step 3 - All porous materials such as clothing, bedding, linens and porous furniture must be removed from the scene.
Step 4 - HEPA filtered air scrubbers are installed based on the cubic volume of the scene to scrub the ambient air and remove the smoke molecules which will be captured via the HEPA filter in the air scrubber. Typically the air scrubbers are left at the scene for a minimum of 3 days.
Step 5 - Deodorization applications using vapor tech technology are installed eliminating smoke odor.
Step 6 - Proper containment of the fire source area is necessary to prevent further smoke and odor damage utilizing 6 mm plastic and duct tape.
Step 7 - Based on job conditions it may be necessary to encapsulate the smoke or fire damaged walls, floors, ceilings with an encapsulating primer paint to seal and encapsulate any residual smell.
