Why Does Mississauga Fire Damage Require Professional Interventions?

Mississauga smoke and fire damage remediation involves cleaning up toxic residues, both airborne and on surfaces. The protein-based soot created in a kitchen fire adheres tightly to appliances, counters, floors, and more. The protein-based smoke and soot are incredibly malodorous, composed of a mix of vaporized dehydrated foods and rancid oils. Residues do not remain in the kitchen; they travel widely on superheated air currents throughout your home. SERVPRO professionals are familiar with the unique needs of kitchen fire damage restoration:

Constructing containment perimeters of heavy-duty plastic, using negative pressure air scrubbing systems to mitigate further drift of the soot and begin deodorization

Examining the characteristics and spread of the residues and the durability of the surfaces damaged to best match soiling with effective yet non-marring soot removal products, tools, and cleaning strategies

Implementing the expertly designed cleaning protocols, typically using solvents to emulsify the oil and protein-based coatings

Adding abrasives to the cleaning products or using tools such as steel wool, stiff-bristled brushes, scrapers, or other rough-surfaced devices to break the bond between the lacquer-like residues and the affected surfaces
