When one thinks of fire season, the one thing that usually comes to mind is the hope that a wild fire doesn’t occur and affect any homes however, even if one of these devastating infernos doesn’t cause actual fire damage to your residence or commercial property, the chances of Smoke Damage occurring can be very high if the structure was exposed to the smoke. Just think of that smell that your clothes or hair bring home after a campfire. That same scent, yet more intensified can force its way in through your property’s vents, open windows/doors, and even your closed garage door. Once this occurs, your appliances, clothes, furniture, and the structure can be subject to smoke damage from soot (a black powdery or flaky substance consisting largely of amorphous carbon, produced by the incomplete burning of organic matter) on your walls, ceiling, etc. We can rid your home of these odors by using professional equipment, products, techniques, and procedures to eliminate and relieve your home of the odor, leaving your home freshly deodorized. The first 48 hours after fire damage can make the difference between restoring versus replacing your property and personal belongings. If you have been a victim of fire or smoke damage, don’t be discouraged; instead give SERVPRO of Garden Grove East/Anaheim Central a call. We’re always here to help!
