Fire, Smoke and Soot Cleanup in San Diego County

11/7/2019 (Permalink)

A fire can be a devastating thing to happen to your home and family. Fires are always unexpected, unpredictable and destructive. It is often the case that even a relatively small fire, dispersing what would only seem like a small amount of smoke, can lead to lasting odors and ongoing environmental hazards. Residential building materials are not intended to be melted, burned or otherwise broken down by heat. Noxious chemicals hide within our household items and it is vital to understand the hazards that exist at the site of a residential or commercial fire.   

Smoke and soot are very invasive and can penetrate all of the cavities within your home, causing lasting and difficult to remove bad smells. Accessing stud cavities behind walls, roof joists in attics, or ducting above crawl spaces can all be incredibly difficult for the average homeowner. Luckily SERVPRO of Scripps Ranch/Mira Mesa/Rancho Penasquitos is an expert at treating all affected surfaces after a fire. We use a variety of treatment techniques including dry ice blasting, soda blasting, encapsulation and deodorization to ensure that there is no chance of a lingering smoke smell following our remediation work.
