SERVPRO Technicians Eliminate Fire Damage From Lenoir City Homes

Fire damage in the home is most common in kitchens, with this one area accounting for two out of every five fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) data. While ovens are built to withstand some degree of direct exposure to fire, the damage may require professional assistance to restore your Lenoir City residence.

SERVPRO technicians are trained to return fire-damaged Lenoir City homes to a preloss condition. This firm focuses on thorough training for technicians in the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) standards for fire damage cleanup and restoration.

What Should I Do in the Event of an Oven Fire?

    •    Ovens can smother minor fires. Keep your oven door closed, and most small fires that occur can be snuffed out by the lack of oxygen. However, if additional suppression is needed, try baking soda, salt, or your kitchen fire extinguisher.
    •    Clean up after extinguishing. Ovens need a thorough cleaning after putting out a fire, not just for burnt residues, but also for the fire suppression methods you used.
    •    Confirm whether or not professional repair is needed first. If you are unsure about whether your oven can function after a fire, call an oven repair company for guidance after a small fire.

What Tools Does SERVPRO Use to Remove Soot Residues from My Kitchen?

SERVPRO uses a broad selection of cleaning instruments and solutions for cleaning a variety of surfaces:

    •    HVAC systems can be cleaned with agitating tools to dislodge and eliminate soot deposits.
    •    Light soot residues can be addressed with dry cleaning sponges and EPA-registered detergent solutions.
    •    More substantial damages, such as charred wood cabinets, can be removed with abrasive materials like soda ash or dry ice.
