How Does SERVPRO Remove Smoke Damage from Medford Properties?

Bubbled and smoked up ceiling after a kitchen fire. SERVPRO’s technicians have the tools and equipment to remove fire and soot damage from your home.

Smoke remediation and soot removal involve several cleaning practices in Medford homes.

Soot particles present severe health hazards to those exposed, so responding technicians must initially contend with the indoor air quality concerns. In some situations, SCBA gear and respirators are necessary to protect our professionals deploying HEPA air scrubbers and hydroxyl machines to capture damaging particulates. Even with this filtration, many of these carcinogenic particulates come to rest on surfaces and contents.

What Tools Are Necessary for Smoke Damage Removal in Medford?

Beginning fire and smoke cleanup in Medford homes can protect underlying materials from unnecessary tear-out and reconstruction. Because of soot's acidic composition, these soils can erode and destroy wood finishes and other surface materials. Advanced cleaning products in our inventory can help to loosen and ultimately remove thick, oily residues. Strategies for soot and smoke damage removal include:

  • Abrasive cleaning
  • Soda blasting
  • Solvents and detergents
  • Controlled demolition

Removing soot and smoke damage involves several strategies that must begin right away. Our fast responding SERVPRO of Medford / Everett team can help with your fire restoration needs when you call (781) 395-4444.
