Smoke and Soot Damage

2/20/2020 (Permalink)

House fires are usually fairly easy to get under control and contain, assuming firefighters are able to begin work soon after they begin. SERVPRO franchises are typically contacted to tackle the significant amount of soot and soiling that results from a fire. Soot and smoke residues can be especially damaging to porous fabrics in the home. While fire and smoke damage may seem like the end of these materials, SERVPRO of Hesperia / Apple Valley/Barstow/Twentynine Palms specializes in restoring rather than replacing.

Our team of fire damage technicians specializes in the restoration of carpets, rugs, and upholstery. As a homeowner, you can trust us to have the expertise, equipment, and experience to salvage contents with smoke or soot soiling.

While the most significant areas of smoke damage usually manifest on the ceilings or upper walls, you may find that soot falls onto the carpets below. The damage this process causes can be exacerbated by water from firefighters dousing the flames, which can act as a setting agent. SERVPRO technicians can remove your carpets and haul them from the property. We can apply a variety of carpet conditioners to the affected carpet to remove any residual damage. Our technicians can then re-install the renovated carpet to your home.

Regardless of the size or severity of the fire, SERVPRO will always put priority on restoring affected materials over replacing them. We are here to help 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
