Norristown Smoke without Fire

Even though the rags in the garage ignited and caused an extremely petroleum-based, oily, messy sooty residue on the surfaces of this house in Norristown, there was no structural damage. That is if the film coating the walls, ceilings, trim work, and furnishing could be successfully restored to preloss condition. SERVPRO fire and smoke damage restoration technicians can use proven methods to sponge, wipe, mop, and vacuum up the unwanted deposits. An ozone machine, running overnight with no people, pets, or plants in the house, can neutralize most of the foul-smelling smoke particles. SERVPRO techs can then create an environment shown in the After Photo. Though there is still the visual evidence of smoke and soot, the surfaces can be primed with an odor and stain-killing primer, then repainted with a finished coat. This saves the expense, mess, and inconvenience of the demolition of the gypsum board. We strive to help our clients most logically and effectively, as if every home we treat is our own.
