If your home suffers smoke and soot damage after a fire, call the professionals to make sure it is cleaned properly.  

As soon in this photo, the soot damage not only travels throughout the home but leaves quite the layer of grime on walls and surfaces.  Leave it to the professionals to make sure your home is brought back to life, "Like it never even happened." 

Our number one goal is returning damaged areas and items to preloss condition, doing all we can to make it “Like it never even happened.” Every SERVPRO® Franchise Professional is dedicated to restoring both the property and the lives of the customers being helped.

Our Professionals will carefully inspect and test adjoining rooms of your property to determine the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage.

Types of soot cleanup:

• Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
• Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
• Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
• Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
• Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.
• Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product.

Fires can be especially devastating to your home or business. After the fire trucks leave, your property will likely suffer from not only fire and smoke damage, but also widespread water damage and flooding from firefighting efforts. SERVPRO Franchise Professionals have specialized fire and water damage restoration training and experience to quickly clean up and restore your home to pre-fire condition. They also can remove the pervasive smoke odor and deep-clean soot from upholstery and carpet. 

When a homeowner sees the fire truck leave their home after extinguishing a fire, it’s not uncommon for the owner to ask the question, What’s next? Call us, and make sure this is the next vehicle in your driveway. 

During Fire Prevention Week 2017, SERVPRO of Spencer and Iowa Great Lakes identified a family in need and provided a smoke detector and fire extinguisher at no cost to the family. Too often, we see stories in the news about preventable house fires and fatalities due to malfunctioning or non-existent smoke detectors and we are happy to help a local family!
