SERVPRO Turns Back The Clock On Small Scale Fire Damage In Bow Home

Fire damage can leave behind multiple issues. It's not uncommon for our technicians to deal with smoke, soot, foul odors, water damage and sometimes smoke webs.

SERVPRO received a call to mitigate fire damage in a Bow home. The fire itself burned a small area in the room and extinguished quickly by firefighters. The homeowner began cleaning the room and noticed wiping smeared the smoke, along with the formation of cobwebs up in the corner of the room. In addition to being difficult to remove, the soot carried a pungent odor.

On arrival at the home, our technicians contained the area and tested the smoke to determine the proper type of cleaning method. It tested as wet, which is the calling card of fires where synthetic materials burn. The smoke of this type of fire is wet, sticky, smeary and challenging to remove. Smoke webs sometimes referred to as "smoke tags" are another feature commonly seen with this type of fire, generally deposited in the somewhat cooler ceiling corners of the room.

We used extractors to remove as much excess moisture as possible and removed the charred building materials using controlled demotion techniques. The goal of SERVPRO is always to restore fire loss items for homeowners rather than have them replaced, and each item in the room was inspected for restorability potential through our proprietary methods. Air movers and dehumidifiers quickly lowered the moisture in the room to predetermined dryness standards.

Then, we cleaned the soot and smoke webs using the damp sponge method to pull up the residue and leave surfaces clean and sanitized. After we complete cleaning, that is often enough to eliminate smoke-odors from a room. When it is not, our SERVPRO techs possess certifications in the science of odor control. We have specialized equipment and methods such as thermal fogging or Hydroxyl generators to remove odors at the molecular level.
