Dealing with fire damage in your home can be overwhelming. Contact SERVPRO and let our professionals remediate the damage.

SERVPRO Arrives Fast to Remediate Fire Damage on Your Property

The small electrical fire might have been quickly put out without excessive extinguishing efforts (that can cause many damages themselves), but there are still problems that you have to address. For starters, your Dayton home smells like smoke, and there is soot strewn up the wall and ceiling where the ignition and bulk of the blaze took place. So, how do you resolve these issues so you can officially put the recent fire behind you and move on officially?
 
Fire damage to your Dayton home does not have to be a complicated situation to resolve, but it is something that only professional restoration companies equip themselves to handle. Our SERVPRO technicians have the expertise and the equipment to manage all of the issues regarding fire damage restoration, including both the lingering odor and the soot or smoke damages.
 
Our team uses scrubbers to deep clean surfaces that have been affected by the smoke and soot. The goal initially is to restore the surfaces we encounter to preloss conditions. If that is not possible, the cleaning becomes a step in preparing walls and ceilings for priming and painting for a completed restoration. The process of cleaning the walls can be done using dry methods (for minor damages) to wet cleaning with detergents to scrub the deeply seated soot damage away.
 
Taking care of the odor is another issue entirely, but one that our SERVPRO technicians are also well equipped to handle. We have a lot of equipment from ozone machines to foggers to nullify noxious or just unsavory scented molecules present in the air to leave behind no trace of any smell. The process significantly differs from other methods used by even professional restoration companies that attempt to mask foul odors with stronger, more favorable scents. When the two processes are both completed, your formerly fire-damaged room has gotten restored to how it was before the incident.
 
Fire damage does not have to be something that you have to deal with on your own. You can give SERVPRO of Lafayette a call. Our emergency response team is available 24/7 at (765) 420-0077.
