Even a small kitchen fire can cause soot and smoke damage
Fire damage can be devastating for you and your family. Feelings of confusion and stress are common, and you need a caring expert to guide you through this crisis. We always treat your family with the greatest empathy and respect, and we’ll treat your property with great care.
After a home fire has been extinguished, homeowner's are left with the aftermath. The flames have not only damaged the home, they have also left behind a layer of soot and smoke that is embedded in every exposed item. Smoke and soot can create irritating odors, discolor walls or ceilings and even cause breathing issues if there is a high concentration of ash left over.
Even a small home fire can cause a great amount of damage due to soot and smoke damage. We have arrived at jobs where a small kitchen fire may have caused minimal structural damage, yet smoke has managed to permeate items throughout the home and soot has covered every surface of the home. In the pictures, the home doesn't show much damage, yet the clean up job is a big one.
When called to a job in the Garrison, NY area, SERVPRO of Putnam County crew members have the expertise and equipment to properly treat all surfaces of ash and soot. Because ash can reactive negatively to certain cleaning agents, possibly causing permanent damage and toxic fumes, this is not a job that can be done with store bought cleaning agents.
At SERVPRO of Putnam County, we keep thermal foggers and other sophisticated odor removal equipment on hand to counter noxious smoke odors. We can reach into all parts of your Mahopac home, including inside floors and walls. We have a large production facility where we are able to take possessions off site and clean them while your home is being restored.
