SERVPRO of North Pensacola clears out smoke damage
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and on the Couch, and in the Vents…
Smoke damage from building fires and wild fires lasts long after the fire is extinguished. People find smoke damage inside of closed file drawers, behind drapes and blinds, and even on the sides of walls and windows opposite from the fire location.
Smoke damage can be hard to find, and even harder to clean. When there is smoke damage, call SERVPRO® of North Pensacola at 850-466-3076.
SERVPRO of North Pensacola has emergency service 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Smoke Damage
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that the smoke from fires irritates the respiratory system, throat, and the eyes. Deposits from the smoke can also irritate the skin.
Smoke also causes significant structural damage, and it damages both porous (such as textiles) and non-porous (such as concrete) materials. The smoke covers surfaces in soot, which is both greasy and corrosive, making it difficult to remove. The odor is also difficult to remove, both because it is a part of the greasy residue, and because smaller particles travel throughout the structure.
SERVPRO of North Pensacola Remediates Smoke Damage
We are a local company that has national resources, giving us nationally recognized training. We know what to look for. For example:
Smoke webs
Plastic materials burn in different patterns than do wood, paper, or cotton, and the smoke is also different. The smoke particles cling together in web-like patterns on the corners of walls and ceilings. We know how to clean this damage.
Synthetic materials
Human-made materials attract more smoke residue than do natural materials. Vinyl stains faster and more heavily than does wood, cotton, leather, or other organic materials. At SERVPRO of North Pensacola, we do our best to restore all of the belongings.
Unseen nail heads
The nail heads are hidden by drywall, but attract smoke. You may see rings of smoke damage on the walls. SERVPRO of North Pensacola cleans these rings.
Duct work
The HVAC does not have to be running. Smoke goes to cooler areas (such as the ducts) and travels to areas that fire didn’t touch.
