The After Effects of a Fire Damage. Soot-Odor-Mold and Water Damage

SERVPRO of East Gainesville professionals are trained and experienced in knowing what to expect after a fire is pout out and what kind of damage it causes. We have 48 years of on the job cleaning to know how to rid the following damages after the fire is out.

1. Soot: Is the carbon byproduct of burnt materials, and it can be acidic and cause a lot of damage to porous and textured surfaces. Stone, grout, wood, carpet, and textiles are particularly vulnerable.
2. Mold: Thrives in damp, dark places, which is often the case in properties after a fire. Once the moisture in the air interacts with mold spores, it produces mildew which is damaging to porous surfaces. 
3. Rust: Will corrode your metal objects causing some items to become irreparable, or increasing your risk of electric shock in electrical items. 
4. Odor: After a fire is overwhelming – the mixture of smoke and mildew creates a particularly putrid smell.
