RICHMOND — Tomer Ezra: Hello, my name is Tomer, and I’m from Reactic Restoration. In the past couple of years, California wildfires have become an increasing issue. Just in 2020 alone, over four million acres have burned throughout the state of California. With wildfires, your house may be affected, but you might not be able to see it to your naked eye. Not so much as when you would have a fire inside of your kitchen, and all of the wall’s completely burnt, but it is equally as important to make sure that you take the necessary steps to remediate your house.

The way that a restoration company would come in and remediate your house is, they would do it in three different steps. First, they would come in and clean the entire affected area. This may be your whole house, or maybe just your kitchen. First, they would clean and wipe down all of the walls, and then vacuum all of the soot and smoke residue that may remain inside of your house. The next step that they would take when everything is nice and clean inside of your property is apply Scentinol, which is a odor-counteractive material that we use to make sure that all affected materials don’t have any remaining odors left inside them or on top of them.

The next step that we take is placing special machines inside of your property, or even the affected rooms, to ensure that there are no remaining odor molecules inside of your property. The way that we do this is taking the hydroxyl generator, as well as the ozone generator, and running them anywhere between 12 to 48, maybe even 72 hours, depending on how affected your property is. Any time you’re getting a remediation process done on your property, make sure you get it done as soon as possible so you can get back to your normal lifestyle and go back to living that happy life that you live.

Any time as well that you’re hiring a remediation company, make sure that you understand the protocols and the necessary steps that they should be taking in order to make sure your house is nice and taken care of in the proper form.
