Quick answer
Fire and smoke cleanup in Macomb Township is mostly work in newer, owner-occupied homes; nearly half the housing was built since 2000. Tight modern construction holds smoke in, and open plans, forced-air ducts and attached garages spread it, so we clean the system and the rooms together, protect electronics and deal with the odor before rebuilding.
What fire jobs look like in Macomb Township
Macomb Township grew fast in the 2000s and today has more than 92,000 residents, almost all in single-family subdivisions. Over 92 percent of homes are owner-occupied, most with three or four bedrooms, attached garages and finished basements.
Garage fires, kitchen fires and electrical fires are the common causes. In a newer house, the burned area is often small, but the smoke reaches a lot of square footage, a lot of belongings and a long run of ductwork.
Macomb Township housing and what it means after a fire
About 48 percent of Macomb Township's 31,000-plus housing units were built since 2000, and nearly 79 percent are single-family detached homes. Newer homes are built tighter, with drywall, engineered floors, forced-air systems and a lot of electronics.
Tight construction keeps smoke odor in longer, so deodorizing matters more here than in older, draftier houses. We plan duct cleaning, electronics cleaning and contents pack-outs early, and check the garage wall and the rooms above the garage on every garage fire.
