Smoke damage and soot contamination after a fire can penetrate all surfaces, big and small, from walls to floors, insulation to air ducts. The experts at VersaPro Restoration and Construction serve the Metro Detroit area, removing smoke, soot, toxic residue, and biohazards that threaten health and well-being.
Safely Addressing Smoke and Soot Contamination
Smoke damage can seep into walls, insulation, air ducts, and many other areas of a home or building, leaving toxic residue behind. Smoke particles carry carcinogens and other substances that are harmful to your health. Accompanied by acidic and corrosive soot, failing to address smoke damage is an inevitable threat to every inhabitant or visitor’s well-being.

- Inspect. The extent of smoke damage is carefully assessed and a plan of action is formed for complete restoration to get underway. Experts know where to look for smoke damage and residue and safely rid your home of these problems with special tools and cleaning agents.
- Protect. When fire and smoke have infiltrated walls, windows, roofing, or other elements, the spaces are boarded up and covered with tarp to prevent further damage and infestation.
- Neutralize. Specialized equipment is used to permanently remove lingering smoke odors from walls, ceilings, and other surfaces.
- Deodorize. The odor-causing molecules from smoke are broken down through deodorization before the actual cleaning process begins.
- Sanitize. Deep cleaning and restoration go hand-in-hand for smoke, soot, and odors to be thoroughly removed and a structure or fabrics to be returned to pre-fire condition.
- Restore. Smoke damage restoration often involves tearing out walls and flooring and reconstructing the areas from scratch so they are fresh, clean, and new.
