Removing smoke and soot residues from homes after fires begins with a thorough inspection. Our qualified administrators can uncover the focal concerns and work to address these most heavily damaged areas as quickly as possible when mitigation starts. 

Is Unfinished Wood a Challenge to Clean? 

Fire damage restoration for Morris Plains involves treating dozens of surface types with specific cleaning products and tactics to maximize production while minimizing damages to underlying substrates. Unfinished wood is porous and harder to treat in many cases involving surface sanding, media blasting, or even controlled demolition to resolve. 

What Process is Used to Treat Finished Wood? 

Finished wood is often among the easier surfaces of this type to clean, as they have a lacquer or coat finish that can reduce smoke damage penetration. In many situations, finished wood like cabinets or shelves can be treated with wet cleaning approaches. More extensive and severe damage to these specific elements requires a greater range of cleaning products. Often restoration is a combination of:

• Wall/Surface Cleaner
• Wood Oil Soap
• Wood Crème Paste

Is Controlled Demolition Necessary? 

Rebuilding after a fire damage incident is often inevitable, and having this capability with our general contractor license prevents customers from seeking subcontractors on their own. Our abilities with controlled demolition and build-back limit the time that restoration takes and save customers money with a fast and qualified transition to construction. 

Our technicians have extensive experience in identifying smoke damage and the necessary restoration steps to help. Smoke and soot residues can be disastrous for wood surfaces, and with so many throughout the property, there is much cleaning to be done.
