There was a fire in a trash can (which was wicker) in a bedroom. The floor and wall were damaged. The fire was put out without water. The room was smoke filled and still has a heavy odor. This occurred yesterday.

Had a heavy smoker in a 1 bedroom unit in a multi-unit building and the odor spread throughout the building. Need an estimate to remove the smoke odor and clean the furniture in the unit as soon as possible. Thanks.

Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke removal is the most important part of this fire restoration process. While the physical elements of the fire damage like the soot and ash, can be scrubbed clean with special cleansers and solvents, smoke proves particularly tricky to control. This is because different types of smoke move to different areas of the property, depending on their type and composition. These deferent types of smoke will need varying procedures to eliminate. An experienced smoke removal company is qualified to remove all traces of smoke from all corners of the home, and balance the air quality of the property again.
One of the first things that a smoke removal company will do is to test the smoke to identify the type of smoke, thereby understanding the area of migration. For instance, hot smoke quickly moves to the upper part of the structure and the cooler regions of the property. It gets transferred through plumbing pipes to get access to all parts of the property. This kind of smoke is very hard to control and requires specialized smoke removal process knowledge. Different types of smoke behave in different ways. For instance, dry smoke is caused by fire that burns hard and fast while wet smoke is indicated by low heat and a sharp pungent odor. Identifying the types of smoke is important part of the smoke removal process.
Once all types of smoke are identified, your smoke reamer company will begin the process of smoke removal. A process called thermal fogging is used to eliminate smoke orders. If the walls have insulation, this might have to be removed in order to eradicate the odor. The insulation cannot be retained because it will still have the odor and will have to be replaced instead.
