SERVPRO removes sooty residues and smoke odors from fire damaged Vernon homes, "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO professionals have multiple cleaning approaches for damaged building materials in Vernon homes.

There are many obstacles between a damaged and restored home, one of the most challenging being the removal and management of soot and smoke soils. Our SERVPRO professionals offer fast mitigation services to allow for efficient and productive cleaning and restoration services to come. We can make it "Like it never even happened."

Removing Airborne Soot Particles

Even before much of the fire damage in Vernon homes can be addressed and removed, careful consideration must be made about the house's condition, and how directly impacted by this loss it has become. Often, some degree of air filtration and clearing is required to protect a property, its contents, and its occupants. We have HEPA air scrubbers and vacuums to begin regulating the removal of airborne soot particles and microbial threats.

Surface Cleaning with Products

The efforts used to clean up damaged surface materials can often get implemented along with effective mitigating products. Mechanical actions play a vital role in soot management, and some of these categories:

• Mild Agitation – Dusters, soft-bristled brushes, compressed air, and vacuums can all be used in light damage situations. 
• Medium Agitation – More concentrated damages require more aggressive cleaning tactics, including dusting cloths, cleaning towels, and a dry cleaning sponge.
• Heavy Agitation – Heavy concentrations of soot damage require aggressive cleaning approaches like media blasting, sanding, and roto pads.
