Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if the environment is contaminated by fire damage?

During combustion, chemical changes occur and environmental pollutants are created, many are harmful to human health. Natural and synthetic materials produce a vast array of chemicals. We thoroughly assess the entire area using state-of-the-art testing equipment to detect any traces of hazardous substances. After complete cleaning and removal of every trace, Ideal Response provide certification to validate the decontamination process.
What is the damage that results from a fire?

During combustion, heat produced by fire can reach thousands of degrees. The corrosive smoke produced is forced into every crevice and becomes embedded in materials, most surfaces will suffer corrosion. Combustion will create chemical products that will be toxic long after fire is extinguished. During incomplete combustion, fumes and chemicals produced such as carbon monoxide are potentially fatal. Complete decontamination is essential.
Are there any more hazards to human health once the fire is extinguished?

Yes. A fire produces chemical residues including acidic soot, hydrocarbons, carcinogenic PAHs and heavy metals such as lead. The combustion process releases harmful chemicals into the environment including asbestos and mercury in older buildings. These infiltrate the materials and surfaces within the building itself. Smoke particles enter the HVAC system, if left they remain for months resulting in lung irritation and respiratory problems.
Are there any more hazards to materials and equipment once the fire is extinguished?

Yes. Carbon particles will penetrate every area of the building. The acidic carbon becomes embedded in every surface and has a corrosive effect on everything it contacts. Polymers are slow to burn, they disfigure, often melting into a thick, sticky mass. During this process, decomposition products including harmful monomers are released. Structural damage is caused by intense heat on metal and other components, compromising safety.
