Taking fast action is vital when fire and smoke have ruined your property. SERVPRO is ready to take your call!

Hiring a Company Like SERVPRO is the Right Way to Handle Smoke and Fire Damage in Belmont

Home fires are stressful events for any homeowner. After the fire-fighting efforts, you need to deal with the charring, soot, ash, and smoke damage. If you do not treat them promptly, they can cause corrosion, discoloration, and etching of building materials. Metals can corrode or tarnish, while polished stone, wood, and vinyl may require refinishing or replacement.

Our SERVPRO technicians can handle the smoke and fire damage in your Belmont residence to restore it to its normal condition. We take your requirements and personal situation into account to meet your needs. Our proven fire and smoke damage repair process includes:

• Inspecting the property’s structural integrity for safety.
• Evaluating the areas that sustained water damage due to fire suppression efforts and remediating it.
• Removing charred items that might seal in smoke like burned wood and insulation.
• Evaluating floor coverings that might require removal.
• Removing smoke residues and odors.

After a fire, the smoke that has penetrated or coated surfaces continues affecting the chemical composition of ceilings, walls, metals, fabrics, and tiles. Our SERVPRO Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Techs (FSRT) can remove the loose particles of smoke and soot from affected surfaces using vacuums. We can use the cleaning brush attachment to agitate residues from surfaces.

If your carpets survived the fire but have smoke damage, we can use carpet cleaners to remove the soot. This equipment sprays carpets with hot water and, in some cases, a chemical that cleans carpets of smoke and soot damage. In some situations, it is necessary to agitate an affected surface heavily. Our SERVPRO team can perform blast cleaning using rotary blasting or compressed air equipment to blast certain media against soiled surfaces.

To remove odors, our SERVPRO crew can use thermal foggers. These devices use special solvent-based deodorizers that are heated and applied as a dry fog. The fog is effective in removing many kinds of odors.
