Fire Damage

Fires may start small but under the right conditions a fire can spread out of control in a matter of minutes and become catastrophic and tragic. If you discover a fire, evaluate the situation quickly.  With a small controlled fire, you may be able to put it out with your extinguisher if you know how to handle one. But never underestimate the danger from fire. If you're not sure you can manage it, let the Fire Department do the work.

Smoke and soot can damage your home and belongings and cause odors that linger for years, so when it comes to repairing fire damage, trust our home restoration experts to get your property, and your life, back into shape.

Some very toxic chemicals may be produced as a result of breakdown reactions from the various parts of construction materials, solvents, glues and other items in the structure. Our state-of-the-art technology can detect and neutralize these chemicals as well as contain hazardous materials. A fire loss is devastating and complex because of the unique behavior of smoke. It is important to have trained technicians at the loss location. Mizera's Steamway knows how to handle damage from smoke, soot and the other results of fire! We will test for toxic gases and materials and remove smoke odor and soot from the indoor environment as well as valuable electronics, machinery, books, documents, and artwork.

Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure. Smoke flows through plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor. Depending on the type of smoke, it will greatly affect the restoration process. Mizera's Steamway steps in, takes charge, addresses your concerns and tests the smoke to see which of the following types of fire occurred. 

Identifying Types of Smoke
     

• Wet Smoke - Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary.  Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.
• Dry Smoke - Fast burning at high temperatures.  
• Protein - Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes.  Extreme pungent odor. 
• Fuel Oil Soot - Furnace puff backs cause fuel oil soot. 
• Other Types - Tear gas, fingerprint powder, and fire extinguisher residue are other types.
