SERVPRO Answers Calls for Fire Damage Cleanup in Durham 24/7

Many fires in local properties get limited to a portion of the property. One of the most significant issues in this type of fire cleanup is to prevent odorous soot particles from traveling to other home areas. 

SERVPRO technicians have many applications to address the odors left behind by fire damage in Durham homes. A common complaint from property owners is smelling fire odors in areas of their homes unaffected by the initial fire. 

Consumer-grade products fail to remove these smells because, during a fire, the hot air expands and forces odorous soot particles deeply into porous surfaces, including walls and furniture. Cleaning agents and equipment such as the Esporta Washing System help remove all traces of the fire from the house.

Masking odors does not work long-term and allows odors to spread. Passive smoke odor removal includes many of the following actions: 

• Replacing HVAC filters and cleaning ductwork
• Using thermal fogging devices to neutralize embedded odors
• Washing fabrics and upholstery
