Special Handling by SERVPRO for Niagara Falls Appliances with Fire Damage

After a protein fire in a Niagara Falls kitchen, the high heat can leave many fire damage throughout the area. In cases where technicians initially determine that the appliances have restoration potential, SERVPRO techs remove the devices to an external site for cleanup against fire and smoke damage. Afterward, they can bring in an outside expert from the Niagara Falls area to examine the appliances and determine they need repairs to make them safe for use within the home.

Odor Control by SERVPRO As Part of Niagara Falls Fire Restoration

The homeowner in this Niagara Falls home decided that reconstruction would be the route taken as the final leg of the restoration services due to the amount of destruction in his kitchen. Before any rebuilding can take place, absolutely all smoke odors need to get removed. The SERVPRO technicians run equipment to improve air quality during the mitigation and have devices such as thermal fogging units or machinery known as hydroxyl generators. Thermal foggers work to eliminate odors from both airborne particulate and embedded scents as the heated fog penetrates porous objects in Niagara Falls properties. The hydroxyl generators emit a UV light that neutralizes airborne soot.
