We can get your property back to the state it was in before the unfortunate incident.

SERVPRO Has the Tools and Experienced Technicians you need for your Home’s Fire Damage

Kitchens are by far one of the most common rooms in a residence to receive fire damage. From dinner-gone-wrong scenarios to incorrect use of appliances causing flame-ups, they all leave behind some form of fire loss to clean. 

Many homeowners assume when no structural loss happened, the aftermath of fire damage in an Edgewater kitchen is something they just have to live with, such as visible smoke on the ceiling. However, any amount of soot has the potential to be an irritant, and it can spread through the air or foot traffic to other areas of the home, spreading the pungent odor of the fire throughout the property. 

Inspection Before Cleaning

The SERVPRO techs inspect properties and test residues before cleaning to ensure they make the correct choice for both the type of smoke they are removing as well for the surfaces they are working with. This attention to detail inhibits the potential for loss by using an improper cleaning method and gives the homeowner the best outcome possible. 

Cleaning Wet Smoke

This quickly smearing mess is the most common type of smoke damage in a kitchen, and it is so tough to remove that it often requires a solvent-based cleaning agent to release the grip the residue has on surfaces such as countertops, cabinets, and ceilings. Many of SERVPRO's exclusive cleaning formulas have dual action as a deodorizing agent, which assists with reducing the odors as it works to lift away the smoke from surfaces.

Specialized Cleaning Applications for Ceilings

This is one of the hardest areas to clean away smoke damage. The techs use wet sponges on extension poles to lift away the residue without grinding it into the surface. When the techs finish, if any residual odors remain in the kitchen, they can choose from a diverse array of odor control procedures to ensure there are no reminders of the fire left behind.
