SERVPRO OCT odor control technicians mitigate the effects of fire damage in your Calabasas home.

Fire Damage Cleanup in Calabasas Is Easier with SERVPRO

Any home fire can be dangerous. Home fires have worsened in recent years because the materials in modern homes have increased flammability. Home occupants have about 2 to 3 minutes to leave a house mostly filled with synthetic-based furnishings.

It is vital to hire SERVPRO to repair fire damage in your Calabasas residence because of the dangerous and acidic nature of the chemicals in soot, burnt materials, smoke, and the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) a fire creates. The chemicals are hazardous, and traditional cleaning methods cannot eliminate them effectively.

They need specific cleaning chemicals and agents, specialized equipment, and professional application. The particular steps that SERVPRO can take to restore your house after fire damage include:

• Inspection 
• Water extraction and cleanup
• Soot removal 
• Odor removal

Inspection

Our team can evaluate the fire damage in your home. We can conduct assessments and tests to analyze the destruction and create a suitable action plan to counter the damage.

Water extraction and cleanup

The fire extinguishing process typically involves using water or chemicals, which, unfortunately, cause further property damage. Fast water extraction helps prevent secondary damage like mold infestation or deterioration of carpeting, wood floors, and drywall. We can use portable pumps to remove the water. Our team can also set up air movers and dehumidifiers to expedite drying. If the firefighters had used chemical extinguishers, we could clean up the residues.

Smoke and soot cleanup

Soot is acidic and can cause discoloration of walls and rust formation. We can clean up acidic residues to prevent permanent damage to affected structures and contents.

Deodorization

Our fire cleanup specialists can remove smoke odors through wet fogging. We use an ultra-low volume (ULV) mister to accomplish this. The mister atomizes liquid deodorizing agents, mainly water-based agents, to produce a fine mist. The mister generates deodorant particles of about 20 to 60 microns in size, which can readily penetrate many areas where smell-causing residues accumulate.
