This image perfectly captures how intrusive soot can be. This is why it is important to pay close attention to the details when remediating a home
Remediating smoke damage after a house fire is a bit more challenging than most think. Smoke leaves behind a pungent odor that seeps into all of the different surfaces throughout the house. It is very tough to completely remove. It can lead to a plethora of health effects. SERVPRO of Vero Beach is very experienced with fire and smoke remediation. We would like to share a few of our methods when tackling smoke odors from very small fires. Before starting the cleaning process, you can stop the soot from spreading by shutting off the A/C. We also recommend setting up an air purifier and let it run throughout the entire process to protect you from inhaling anything you’re not supposed to. They go through the house gently vacuuming and dusting loose soot that may have settled on the surfaces. White vinegar can be very effective and safe to help deodorize surface with residual smoke odors. Lastly, it is very important to have the HVAC system thoroughly cleaned by a professional. If you notice there is still a lingering smoke odor or have had a larger fire that requires more attention, call SERVPRO of Vero Beach at 772-770-0501. We can make it “Like it never even happened.”
