Kitchen Fire Mishaps!

6/8/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Cecil County visited a Perryville home that suffered a kitchen fire, leading to smoke damage throughout the entire property.  Our team visited the property immediately to begin the cleanup process and restore the home back to a preloss state.

We have assisted several homes and facilities with their fire damage restoration needs recently, including a home in Elk Mills.  The homeowner’s insurance company asked us to visit the site to complete smoke, soot and odor removal services after an electrical fire in the kitchen.  While the kitchen was the only area that had been significantly destroyed, smoke had made its way into other portions of the home.

Smoke and its odor can leave behind its own substantial effects to a property that suffers from fire damage.  SERVPRO of Cecil County utilizes advanced cleaning and restoration procedures in order to eliminate these effects.  Our air scrubbers are placed in the affected areas for a minimum of three days.  This equipment is used to capture smoke and other harmful particles in the air.

Additionally, we use odor deodorization methods to infiltrate and decontaminate the poor air quality inside of a property.  In some circumstances, we provide an ozone treatment to help fully remove all odor in a space at a more extreme level.  During this process, our equipment uses electricity to alter the components of oxygen in the air until they take the form of ozone.  The ozone then attaches to the odor and eliminates it.  This treatment is hazardous and can only be performed when no one is present on site.

SERVPRO of Cecil County uses many different methods to remove fire damage based on the circumstances of the individual situation.  We are here to answer any questions you may have when smoke, soot or other forms of fire damage are present!
