Cleaning smoke and soot damage from your Farmington home.

Small kitchen fires in your Farmington home might not come with The devastating damages that some unfortunate homeowners experience, but it is something that leaves lingering effects to face. While these smaller scale incidents might not leave a lot of structural concerns to overcome, soot and smoke damages are enough to make continued living in your home a difficult thing to do. Fortunately, professional restoration services can help you to overcome these obstacles and get your home back the way it used to be.

Soot is a black film that adheres to walls, ceilings, floors, ductwork, and other materials during a fire. Our professionals have multiple ways of overcoming this situation, usually depending on the location of the soot and how easily it can get removed. Often a higher powered vacuum is sufficient to clean up the bulk of this present soot, though sometimes sponges and elbow grease are necessary when the film is a little more stubbornly adhered to the material.

Smoke damage is one of the final things that our SERVPRO team works to remove, as this process requires our air scrubbers and possibly thermal foggers. The foggers work to break apart foul odor molecules left behind to deodorize the area and leave no discernable scent behind. Air scrubbers trap and catch loose debris and particles in the air following the restoration process and help to make the deodorization more effective. These devices can utilize both HEPA filtration for removing airborne particulates and activated carbon filters for neutralization.
