What Does Soot and Smoke do?

Smoke and soot is inevitable when there is a fire and it often causes just as much damage. Soot begins to settle into the structure and its contents nearly immediately. It can discolor certain items and stain if action is not taken quickly. Within hours of a fire, the damages become more difficult to restore. Wood may need refinishing, walls begin to yellow, and clothing might be permanently stained. If the house/items are left untreated for weeks, they become more permanently damaged and restoration the process becomes increasingly difficult. 

Fires can be devastating and life changing. Let the SERVPRO professionals make it "Like it never even happened." Our IICRC technicians are certified in fire restoration and will handle your home with professionalism and care.
