Verify Air Quality Test

After The Fire or Smoke Damage

All indoor environments should have a comprehensive Post Fire Damage Clearance Assessment to ensure the safety of the occupants. Fire and smoke can affect building materials, contents and the indoor air quality for years to come. There can be a toxic combination of particulate as well as remaining VOC's or chemicals that can absorb into wood, drywall, insulation and stuffed articles that were not replaced.

If there is still an odour, it has not been fully restored! There could be a safety issue.

Call us for an indoor air quality assessment and smoke damage testing of your building and contents. Prove You Still Have Smoke Damage.

Post Fire and Smoke Clearance Test

Mould Assessment

Depending on the source, the extent of the damage and how the fire was extinguished a comprehensive mould assessment for hidden mould growth as well as remaining airborne mould spores may be an important step to ensuring the building is safe for resuming occupancy.

Airborne Particulate Concentration

Smoke, fire as well as restoration can lead to airborne dust and particulate. A clearance test should provide information that airborne particles are at normal levels prior to occupancy.

Residual Soot and Dust Assessment

A comprehensive clearance test must include an analysis of particulates for the presence of combustion byproducts such as soot, char and ash. Should these remain indoors and become part of your indoor air quality, even at low levels, this can have significant and long term health effects. Testing for dioxins and metals such as lead, mercury, chromium and lithium may also be needed depending on the fire the building sustained.

Airborne VOC's or chemicals resulting from a fire

A proper clearance test, whether there is an odour or not, should include VOC analysis concentrating on burned materials such as vinyl, rubber, paints, adhesives, plastic and other synthetic materials.

If Ozone was used

Ozone can lead to a whole other problem with indoor VOC's or chemical off gassing of synthetic materials. Byproducts of ozonation can be methyl bromide, ketones and vinyl chloride to name a few. These pose a serious health threat if not properly remediated.

Smoke Only , No Fire

In some cases there can be smoke damage only. Protein fires from something left on the stove where no fire resulted can be just as damaging. This can leave protein residue beyond the kitchen leading to strong and noticeable odours. Surface and air testing is a must.

The building and/or contents has been cleaned but there is still an odour or damage.

Rooms or contents still have an odour

Affected areas by the fire or smoke have been cleaned but there is still and odour and the insurance company claims there isn't.

Affected areas or contents have smoke damage and the discussion is how to clean them
