Soot Removal Options for Bedford Homes 

After a fire is extinguished, one of the more challenging restoration hurdles is removing the smoke and soot deposits on surfaces and contents. This process begins with finding suitable methods of loosening the grip on these surfaces with solvents and water-based cleaners. Wet and dry cleaning solutions are often necessary for various materials throughout the household.  

Overcoming Harsh Odors in Bedford Residences  

Odors are a traditional effect of threatening fire damages. Because combustion can occur with several types of materials like fuels, plastics, and chemicals, these odors can be unbearable for the homeowner in many situations. Our experienced Odor Control Technicians (OCT) have trusted strategies to reduce and ultimately remove harsh smells from the environment.
