Quick answer
Smoke and fire cleanup in Farmington Hills is mostly work in 1970s and 1980s homes and in condo and apartment buildings; the city's median home was built in 1978. Smoke moves through forced-air ducts, open layouts and attached garages in the houses, and through shared walls and attics in the multi-unit buildings, so we clean the system and every connected space.
What fire jobs look like in Farmington Hills
Farmington Hills is one of the larger Oakland County cities west of Southfield, with neighborhoods of colonials and contemporaries, plenty of condo communities and a good number of apartment complexes. About a third of its housing units are rented.
Kitchen fires, garage fires and furnace puff-backs are the common causes in the houses. In condos and townhomes, a fire in one unit often reaches the next through the shared attic or wall, which is where we look first.
Farmington Hills housing and what it means after a fire
The median home in Farmington Hills was built in 1978, and more homes went up in the 1980s than in any other decade. The city has more than 35,000 households, and about 34 percent of housing units are occupied by renters.
Houses of that era have drywall, forced-air systems, open family rooms and vaulted ceilings, so smoke spreads widely and settles in the ducts. In attached condos and townhomes, shared attics and firewalls decide how far it travels. We test the neighboring units on every multi-unit job.
