Why is Fire and Smoke Damage a Forensic Biological Hazard?

A Fire in your home is a traumatic event and threatens your family’s security. A fire event can bring your business operations and everyday life activities to a sudden halt.

During the first 24 to 48 hours after the fire event, it is possible to minimise the damage and spread of toxic materials drastically: This is known as the golden hours of recovery.

The toxic smoke odour produced has to be neutralised and deodorised for the safety of the occupants of the property. The Acid Soot Residue left by the fire cause the plastics to discolour within minutes and within a few hours, causes the grout in bathrooms to discolour and tarnishes uncoated metals and appliances may begin to get a yellow stain.

This calls for an emergency remediation process to reduce the damage as much as possible to ensure the recovery of the property. Acid soot and smoke accelerates deterioration and corrosion of building components and assets.
