Cleaning Up After Grill Night Causes Fire Damage To Your Patio In Agoura

Having a fun night in with friends often includes grilling something delicious on the patio of your Agoura residence. Even with precautions, accidents do happen. We are always ready to help minimize the ’damage's expenses to you in every way possible and help get your home restored, so everything is “Like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO's specialists in Agoura start mitigating fire damage as soon as we arrive. Fire and smoke are only two of the factors when we mitigate a home. Water and smoke also elevate the amount of damage found. When burning food added to the disaster, we know that much of the residue left behind contains oils and other components. Burnt protein can make removing the soot more difficult than if the flames consumed only wood or paper.

Unless soot gets removed from exterior surfaces like painted walls, vinyl siding, or decorative masonry, permanent staining can create additional havoc. Although we remove charred materials to replace them with safer ones, we prefer cleaning wherever possible. This option saves many homeowners substantial amounts over replacing everything involved in a disaster. Because of the outdoor nature of patios, our building services often steps in to help with installing temporary fencing to protect your property.

Heat during a fire can also cause damage to show up in melted and warped plastics. We take photos of these areas to help you locate similar items when looking for replacements. These same photos can help verify damaged areas for insurance purposes. Many times, exact replicas of patio furniture becomes challenging to find so that alternatives might become the only option. Photos can help show the extent of damage, as well.

SERVPRO's specialists receive in-house training, making them well-equipped as team members in restoring your patio. Our dedicated staff also receives certificates from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in Fire and Smoke Restoration (FSRT). Your property is essential to you, and we know the most efficient methods to restore its beauty and functionality with as little delay as possible.

Other surfaces where smoke might congregate include the ceiling of your patio. We use gentle cleaning agents that do not strip paint while removing soot and grime. Screened in areas can also become damaged from ash. When these remain intact and do not require their replacement, cleaning them helps keep soot residues from spreading.
