A house fire and the smoke that is produced after a fire impacts certain parts of a house differently. Because of this it may require different methods of sanitizing, restoring and/or rebuilding. You may not be able to see the extent of the fire damage because sometimes it occurs in areas that are not visible to the naked eye. There could be damage behind walls, in the attic, it could have affected the structure, or electrical or plumbing systems. Even walls or surfaces that aren’t in the same room where the fire originated can be damaged.

Surfaces with smoke and soot damage require special cleaning agents. As common as household cleaning products can be they can be ineffective or even cause additional damage. If water damage occurs from a fire extinguisher, or if the sprinkler system went off during the fire then there is a potential for mold growth, which will also need to be addressed in addition to fire and smoke damage. SERVPRO of Metrocrest is trained in fire restoration and will be able to assess the degree of the fire damage and determine the areas and content of the home that can be cleaned and restored and which ones need to be completely replaced.
