    Smoke residue, also known as soot, is a hazardous byproduct of incomplete combustion. It contains harmful substances like carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, and heavy metals. Exposure can lead to various health issues, including respiratory problems, skin irritation, headaches, and nausea. Additionally, smoke residue can cause significant damage to property, resulting in discoloration, corrosion, and persistent odors.

  • What should I do after a water damage event?

    In the event of water damage, prioritize safety for yourself, your family, or employees. Avoid areas with standing water or electrical hazards.

We ensure all materials reach industry-standard dryness before removing our drying equipment. Throughout this process, we conduct regular monitoring visits to document progress and adjust equipment as needed.
  • How long will the restoration process take?

    The duration of the restoration process varies based on the extent of damage.

The complete restoration, including repairs to return the property to its pre-loss condition, may take several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the damage. Clean Green Restoration will provide a detailed timeline to help you understand the process ahead.
