When we think of fire damage, the most vivid images are those of charred walls, burned furniture, and the pungent smell of smoke. However, the real danger often lies in what we can't see.
We understand that fire remediation is not just about addressing the visible damage but also about uncovering and mitigating the hidden threats that can linger long after the flames are extinguished.
The Unseen Aftermath of Fire Damage
Fire damage is far more insidious than it appears at first glance. Beyond the immediate destruction, there are several hidden dangers that can compromise the safety and health of properties.
1. Smoke can penetrate walls and ceilings leaving lingering damage.
Smoke can penetrate walls, ceilings, and other surfaces, leaving behind toxic residues. These residues can cause ongoing health issues such as respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other long-term health conditions. Moreover, the lingering odour of smoke can be nearly impossible to remove without professional intervention.
Steamatic employs advanced smoke damage remediation techniques to thoroughly clean and deodorise affected areas. Our advanced equipment and expertise ensure that all traces of smoke are eliminated, safeguarding the health of occupants.
2. Water used to extinguish fires can seep into the floor and walls, causing further damage.
Ironically, one of the most common hidden dangers after a fire is water damage. The water used to extinguish the fire can seep into floors, walls, and foundations, creating the perfect environment for mould growth. If left unchecked, mould can spread rapidly, causing extensive damage and posing serious health risks.
At Steamatic, we understand the interconnected nature of fire and water damage. Our comprehensive fire remediation process includes thorough water extraction, drying, and dehumidification to mitigate against mould growth and further damage.
3. Toxic residues can contaminate the air quality
Fires often involve the burning of various materials, from plastics to chemicals, which can release toxic residues into the environment. These residues can settle on surfaces and contaminate the air quality. Prolonged exposure to these toxins can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory problems, neurological damage, and cancer.
Steamatic’s fire remediation services include meticulous cleaning and decontamination to remove these hazardous residues. Our team uses specialised cleaning agents and techniques to ensure a safe and toxin-free space.
