Fire Damage Occurs in Several Ways 

Fires are among the more common cleanup and restoration calls that our team receives. Because these situations can rapidly get out of control, we must know how fire damage spreads and how best to address the effects to get life back to normal. 

The Impact of Smoke 

Cleaning up fire damage in Fort Lauderdale homes means addressing the impact of smoke damage on the property. Smoke solids and soils can substantially threaten a structure after a fire gets extinguished. Our SERVPRO professionals can help with cleanup in several ways:

• Soot 

Partial combustion creates carbon particles that affix to surfaces and contents. Soot is one of the most formidable hurdles of fire damage restoration, requiring multiple approaches to safely remove without destroying the hosting material. From solvents and detergents to abrasive media blasting, we have several approaches for eliminating soot.

• Airborne Contaminants 

Contamination is a concern for the environment. Airborne particulates and smoke solids create a volatile atmosphere for responding professionals. We can manage many carcinogenic threats using HEPA filtration products and UV cleaning. Cleaning up spaces like the HVAC ductwork can also directly impact the volume and concentration of airborne contaminants.

• Odors

Clearing harsh smells is another obstacle created by the generation of smoke during a fire. Strong and offensive odors penetrate porous materials and overwhelm smaller spaces in the house. We utilize several deodorization tools and products to neutralize malodors even after the restoration completes.
