Smoke & soot Damage Shouldn’t Be Ignored!

In the aftermath of a fire, it’s tempting to want to sweep, paint, and move on. The truth is, smoke & soot damage can run much deeper. Our restoration technicians are available 24//7 and will do a thorough inspection of the damage for free and then provide a professional assessment of what your property needs, from deodorization to reconstruction.

Some of the things our technicians can help you with:

  • Clean any traces of soot or smoke on your floor, walls and surfaces
  • Remove the unpleasant odors left behind by smoke and fire damage
  • Use advanced technology and equipment to reseal all surfaces and protect your home from further damage by remnants of smoke, soot and ash
  • Orchestrate any necessary move outs, content claim inventory and contents restoration in coordination with your insurance company.

At Protech Damage Restoration, we know how different hazardous materials (such as asbestos and lead) react to fire, heat and smoke and what steps to take to minimize the damage. We will perform all the necessary environment restoration and building restoration services to preserve, protect and secure your home or office with thorough cleanliness and environmental safety.

We also know how to work with your insurance representative as environmental and restoration experts, not as a general contractor or ordinary cleaning company – an important difference when selecting a qualified specialist.

Our expert team will guide you through the clean-up and restoration process step by step and return your property to its original condition. Call us now, or fill out our 24/7 Emergency Response Form, and we will get in touch with you immediately.

The Do’s & Don’ts of a Fire Degradation Emergency

If the temperature outside is above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, open the windows to air out the house and reduce smoke odor.

Clean laminate surfaces as well as chrome, porcelain, and aluminum fixtures to prevent permanent tarnishing or etching.

Change the air filter on your furnace if it uses forced hot air.

Discard any open food packages.

If the electricity is off, clean out the refrigerator and leave doors propped open.

Send clothing with heavy smoke damage to a qualified restoration dry cleaner.

Tape damp cheesecloth over returns and supply registers to capture loose soot in the air.

Do not touch anything with your bare hands as the oils in your skin may cause additional damage.
Do not enter a structure if the structural integrity of the property is unknown, or if there’s been floor damage.
Do not wash walls as incorrect cleaning could compound the soot residue.
Do not attempt to clean carpets or upholstered furniture.
Do not use electrical appliances until having them checked.
Do not use ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet.

Manny and his crew were absolutely outstanding! I had a pipe burst in the kitchen and once my plumber got me his name, he was out within the hour to assess. Between thoroughly drying (taking readings to ensure dryness) EVERYTHING and carefully replacing everything that was taken off (drywall, cabinets, etc), these guys were thorough, communicative, careful, and, best of all, quick! Thanks for everything!

- MARGARET R.

“I would like to recognize Mike. He came out a couple weeks ago and he was awesome. He removed my tiles and he did a really professional job. I think his son was with him but I'm not sure but today Daniel came out. Daniel was very prompt and he notified me when he would come. He did a great job. I used a different company for a different project I like Protech much better. They are more honest and they genuinely wanted to do a good job whereas this other company saw me as a dollar sign.”

- KAREN C.

ProTech was great to work with and very transparent about everything they needed to do to restore my basement after a flood. They worked with my insurance company and made everything easy to get my basement back to normal. I hope I don't have to call them again, but if I do, it will be without hesitation. A+!

- MATT M.

“I like ProTech Water Damage company's transparency and professionalism. They are very organized and very polite and professional. They did a wonderful job. I would recommend them to all of my friends and other people.”.

- ZHOUBO L.

Our plumber recommended ProTech Commercial Services to assist in cleaning up damage caused by a broken water line. Eric Noonan and his team did an outstanding job of addressing the damaged area to minimize further possible damage to hardwood floors and mold. ProTech/Eric were courteous, professional and communicated with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend their services.

- ED W.

It was an excellent experience. They explained each work and cost why it was needed and explained to my insurance why and how it was needed . They did a great job and I was so glad I called them to do my water damage remediation . Thanks PROTECH.. I am 100% to recommend to anyone to try call first PROTECH and you will not be disappointed.
