Fire damage cleanup and remediation is critical after a fire in your home. Call SERVPRO for expert technicians who are standing by 24/7 to help.

SERVPRO® Offers Excellent Fire Recovery Cleanup

Even though wildfires do not ravage the west coast of Florida, accidents happen in homes. The kitchen is notorious for being the scene of a small to a large, devastating house fire. We always recommend not leaving stovetop or oven cooking unattended.

Many condos suffer fire damage in St. Petersburg that requires special attention due to the proximity of neighboring units. It is wise to reach out to a professional service to mitigate the damage to your home and also to prevent damage to adjacent condo units. For a small kitchen flareup, many homeowners have a handy fire extinguisher under the sink that can quickly dispatch the flames and limit the damage to only a charred steak.

The smoke from a kitchen fire is typically pungent from protein-based foods. This can be an aromatic nightmare for you and even your neighbors. By swiftly contacting our office, we can arrive at your home, usually within four hours. After assessing the fire damage and removing items to expedite the cleanup, we get right to work with our IICRC-certified FRST fire and smoke damage technicians.

We first arrest and then eliminate smoke odors by using the following actions and equipment as deemed necessary:

• Increase air circulation by opening windows, if feasible
• Positioning hydroxyl generators to neutralize the smelly compounds
• Spray a warm, fogging agent that mimics the path of smoke into all nooks and cronies, such as wall voids

If the smoke odor is extreme and persistent, we can utilize an ozone generator. This is the device of last resort since all persons, pets, and plants must vacate the premises. This disruption can be of particular concern in a condo building.

We are mindful of your concerns following a fire-damaging event at your home and make every effort to diminish the disruption. We also communicate with your insurance carrier to simplify the claim. The goal of SERVPRO of NE St. Petersburg is to make you feel “Like it never even happened.” Click or call for a rapid response.
