Smoke spread between units through shared attics
Why it happens here
Calle Santander condos share attics, and smoke travels through them fast. A fire in one unit can push smoke into three or four neighboring condos before the fire department arrives. The damage is often worse next door than at the source.
Our approach
We inspect every adjacent unit with thermal imaging cameras and air quality meters. If smoke traveled, we set up containment in each unit and run air scrubbers with HEPA filters. We also seal attic penetrations so smoke odor does not migrate after we leave.
