SERVPRO Can Help You Rid Your Durham Home Of The Malodor Fire Damage Leaves Behind

Fire damage can leave many remnants of the flames that burned inside of your home. Ash, soot, and smoke are some of the more obvious signs of a fire but, even after all of those symptoms have been removed, the smell can still remain behind. However, it is comforting to know that professional help, which can address all aspects of the fire damage inside of your home, is never far.

The fire damage inside of your Durham home happened inside of your bedroom, from an unattended candle. The candle was close enough to a scarf that hung from a wall-mounted rack to catch it on fire and, from the scarf, that fire spread to the numerous accessories hanging from the rack, such as other scarves and hats. By the time you found the fire in your room, it had not done catastrophic damage. However, it did manage to burn most of the articles on the mount, as well as some of the makeup products that had sat on the dresser beneath it, alongside the candle.

When you reach out to SERVPRO for help with the damage in your bedroom, we make it a priority to arrive at your home as soon as we can. Once there, we can begin cleaning up the ruined remains of your clothing, as well as the ruined cosmetic products. The wooden clothing mount, the wall itself, and your dresser all had soot stains, but our IICRC-certified SERVPRO techs can clean them. By using a spray-and-wipe technique alongside an effective lubricative cleaning solution, our technicians can chip away at the soot.

Once the physical evidence is removed, all that remains is the smell that the fire left behind. The very particles in the air carry the scent with them, so the only option is to try and neutralize them. Thankfully, SERVPRO can use a thermal fogger to do just that. A thermal fogger dispenses a vaporized agent that can attack the foul smell at a particle level and remove it from the air, leaving your bedroom “Like it never even happened.”

If fire damage has left a foul smell behind in your home, do not wait. Get in contact with SERVPRO of North Durham by dialing (919) 467-0880. No matter the time, our technicians can help you with your fire damage problems.
