A home can survive a wildfire and still be left with significant smoke, ash, odor, and indoor air quality problems. On 2 Plus You Nevada, host Sarah Johns sits down with Chris Poulin of 911 Restoration to explain what homeowners and businesses should know about wildfire smoke damage and the restoration process after a fire impacts their property.

From ash settling throughout a home to smoke odors penetrating walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, attics, furniture, clothing, and personal belongings, wildfire damage can extend far beyond what you initially see. Chris explains how professional smoke and ash cleanup works, when surfaces may need to be cleaned or repainted, how affected belongings are handled, and how commercial properties can use air purification equipment to help improve indoor air quality following wildfire smoke exposure.
