Why You Need Professionals for Cleaning Smoke Damage in Orange County

10/9/2019 (Permalink)

After suffering a house fire, your focus is going to be pulled in all sorts of directions. One of those directions is cleaning the smoke damage caused to the home, especially if you’re not rebuilding completely. It’s worth getting professionals for cleaning smoke damage in Orange County, and here are four reasons why.

 You Can Focus on Other Aspects

After a major fire, there are many aspects to your home that will need your undivided attention. You’ll need to deal with the water damage, the insurance claims, possible police reports, and so much more. At the same time, you just want to spend time with your family, or deal with any injuries or problems that have arisen from the fire.

 When you hire professionals for cleaning smoke damage in Orange County, you can deal with the other elements that need your attention. You can outsource the majority of the physical work and just focus on the emotional and mental elements of the fire.

Some Will Help with Water Damage Too

Fire doesn’t just lead to smoke damage. You’ll also need to deal with water damage from putting out the fire. If you find the right professionals, there’s some great news. Some companies are experienced in dealing with cleaning smoke damage in Orange County and managing water damage at the same time.

 You’ll be able to put the focus on where you need to when recovering from a fire. It’s also possible to save money by merging two problems into one.

Cleaning Smoke Damage in Orange County Is Time Consuming

You’ll have to spend hours and even days getting into everywhere in the house. This isn’t just about the single room where a fire was, if you were lucky. Your smoke damage will get into the nooks and crannies of the wall space. You’ll need to check every level and then take the time to clean out that damage.

 Cleaning out smoke damage is time consuming. It’s stressful and you’ll want to spend the time elsewhere. Get someone else to do it all for you. At least you know that it’s done properly, because a professional will understand the way smoke works.

You’ll Protect the Health of the Whole Family

One thing that many people don’t think about is the damage residual smoke left behind can cause. You may think the smoke didn’t get into the insulation within one of the top floors because the fire was put out in time, but that’s not necessarily the case. The smoke can pass through the ventilation system and will work its way around the gaps in the walls.

 You need to get the whole home checked. Professionals will do this when it comes to cleaning smoke damage in Orange County. They understand where the smoke gets to and will make sure the health of your family is put first.

 Yes, this is a cost but it’s one that you will likely be able to claim back through your insurance. Think of it more of an investment. Cleaning smoke damage in Orange County after a major fire needs to be done by a professional.

5 Signs You’re In Need of a Flood Service in Newport Beach

9/8/2019 (Permalink)

After flooding, you’ll need to deal with the cleanup. This can be a stressful time, and you may not necessarily have the will or ability to do the cleanup process. One of the best things you can do is hire a flood service in Newport Beach for the cleanup. Here are five signs that this is a must for your current situation.

 You Don’t Have the Ability to Do the Cleanup

While you may want to do the cleanup yourself, you don’t necessarily have the physical ability to manage it all. This is often due to a physical limitation, such as a disability or be injured and unable to lift something. Another reason may be because of the children you also have to control. It’s sometimes best to look for a flood service in Newport Beach to manage it for you.

You Don’t Want to Deal with the Cleanup

Depending on the reason or severity, you may just not want to deal with the cleanup. It can mean getting rid of many personal affects and memories. For example, if you suffered a house fire and the whole house has been damaged, leading to the almost loss of life, you won’t want reminding of it during the cleanup. Getting a third party could be better for your sanity.

The Cleanup is Too Big for You Alone

If it was just one room, you could possibly spent the time doing the cleanup. However, your cleanup is the whole house. You don’t know where to start and you know that it would be impossible to get through it all alone. You need a flood service in Newport Beach to make sure you can do everything necessary in the short window of time that you have.

You Wouldn’t Be Able to Do the Cleanup in Time

Sometimes the time problem isn’t because of the size of the problem. You may have had other plans or may not have the ability to get started right away. Because of that, you need a third party to manage it all for you. After all, the replacement is costly and you may need to get back to work right away. Hire a third party service and you’ll find that you have more time available.

You Want to Hire a Flood Service in Newport Beach

Whatever your reasoning, sometimes you just want to hire someone else to do it. You don’t want to have to deal with the hassle or you don’t know where to start. There’s nothing wrong with just saying that you’d rather have someone else to handle it all for you. In fact, this is the perfect reason to hire a professional.

 You don’t have to do everything yourself. Check with your insurance because you may find that you have coverage for a flood service in Newport Beach. Use that to your advantage. Even if you don’t, see if you have the money to hire someone else to manage this part of the cleanup process to protect your physical and mental health.

You’ve suffered smoke damage in your home. This could have been from an accidental fire or it may have just been from burning something on the stove. Smoke has a way of getting everywhere. You’ll want to learn how to clean smoke damage in Newport Beach to keep your home safe and fresh.

 One of the best things you can do is hire someone for your smoke damage cleaning. If it’s minor and you know you have time to do it yourself, here are the tips to get started.

 What You’ll Need

The good news is that most of the items you’ll need will be in your home already. You’ll need a dry cleaning sponge, so you may need to buy that. This is crucial so don’t skip on it.

After that, you’ll want to get:

• Rubbing alcohol or paint thinner
• Degreaser
• Vinegar
• Bucket with hot water
• Clean rags
• Fan
• Vacuum with the upholstery brush

 How to Clean Smoke Damage in Newport Beach

Now it’s time to start on cleaning. Make sure you open all the windows in the home. You want the best ventilation. If it’s icy outside, use sweaters and jackets to remain warm. 

Turn off the HVAC system. Most of the time, smoke will have got into this system and you’ll end up spreading it around your home!

 Cleaning smoke damage can be hazardous to your health. Make sure you lay down some protective materials over the floor and over your furniture. Plastic sheets or even fabric soot covers will be good. You’ll also want to have long sleeves and pants to cover your skin. Get a mask to prevent breathing in the smoke.

 Vacuum and Then Clean

Now it’s time to get started on how to clean smoke damage in Newport Beach. The first thing to do is vacuum. This will get rid of the loose particles to make the cleaning process easier. Use the upholstery brush to dislodge some of the more stubborn bits of soot. Don’t scrub because you’ll make the damage worse.

 Now you can clean. Use the dry cleaning sponge to wipe away the soot or the smoke stains. The sponge will have chemicals that will life the stains from your wall. Do this before using any water to avoid spreading soot accidentally.

 The sponge will become covered in soot. Once all sides are covered, slice off parts of the brush to expose the clean parts to clean as much as possible.

 After that, you’ll want to clean with a commercial soot remover and a clean rag. Follow the directions on the product. Vinegar, paint thinner, or rubbing alcohol can also help. Wipe down every surface, even if it doesn’t look like you’ve suffered damage. You’ll be surprised at where soot can get.

 Use the fan to help ventilate throughout the cleaning. The fan will also help dry the walls quickly so you don’t suffer from water damage.

 You’ll want to avoid scented products. They tend to cover up the problem instead of fix it. If you’re in doubt about how to clean smoke damage in Newport Beach, hiring a professional is worth your time and money.
