SERVPRO is the best in the industry, and we have the experience and equipment to restore your home to pre-damage condition after a fire disaster.

Fast Cleanup of Fire Damage in a Roxborough Kitchen

According to the CPSC, one of the leading causes of unreported home fires is cooking. From 2012 to 2016, fire departments in the US responded to an average of 471 home cooking fires every day: a whooping 172,100 fires total. Fire damage caused by cooking may seem insignificant, but many risks can harm your appliances and structures well after the fire has occurred without proper cleanup. 

Deal with fire damage in your Roxborough home can be stressful and overwhelming, but you do not have to handle it alone. The certified technicians at SERVPRO receive extensive training and education in addressing fire-related disasters and are ready to assist you. The goal of this disaster cleanup service is to restore your home to its prior condition while maximizing safety after exposure to fire, soot, and residues.

How Soot Affects Homeowners After Fires

Soot does more than coat or stain surfaces after a fire. Here are just a few risks soot can pose to your home:

• Soot compounds, like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, can combine with moisture and become acidic. This can corrode metals, plastics, and other components of appliances in your kitchen. 
• These particles can increase the risk of various respiratory conditions, including asthma and bronchitis. 
• Every year, soot causes a whopping 300,000 asthma attacks and 2 million sick days off work due to respiratory issues.

SERVPRO is Here to Help

When addressing cooking-related fire damage in your home, SERVPRO technicians take great care to examine surfaces that may have been affected by soot or protein residues. Protein residues are colorless, but have a strong, distinct odor, and cannot be removed without extensive cleaning. 

SERVPRO also examines appliances like your refrigerator, toaster, and stove for signs of fire damage and cleans them from the inside out to minimize risk to your home. Finishes, plastic casings, and more are cleaned with gentle tools, and great care is taken to preserve your possessions.

A common method for addressing pervasive odors after a fire is the thermal fogger. This industrial-grade deodorizing system eliminates odor-causing particles by releasing solvents in the same way smoke clings to surfaces after a fire. Commercial box fans are used to ventilate the home after fogging to clean the air thoroughly.
