Riverhead SERVPRO Technicians Remediate Smoke and Protein Fire Damage

Home fire damage can prove challenging for Riverhead homeowners to mitigate without professional assistance, especially in the kitchen. Soot clings to nooks and crannies that can be easy to overlook, and transparent, greasy protein residues from meats catching fire require specialized care to remove the malodors associated with them.

Certified SERVPRO fire damage techs remove Riverhead kitchen charring, stains, and residues with a combination of tried-and-true cleaning methods and cutting-edge restoration technologies. The fire cleanup process is designed to be efficient and restoration-focused to minimize repair and replacement costs for homeowners.

SERVPRO Solutions for Soot and Protein Residues After Kitchen Fires

Fire mitigation techs combine multiple factors, such as debris pickup, demolition, containment procedures, and negative air pressure establishment, to create an ideal environment for kitchen soot removal that minimizes the risk of secondary damages from particles spreading through vent systems and contact with surfaces outside of the kitchen.

• SERVPRO professionals begin soot residue removal with manual cleaning of light, dry soils. Dry cleaning comes before wet cleaning, and techs work from ceiling to floor for more efficient soot pickup
• HEPA filter vacuums pick up soot particles as small as 0.3 microns in size–a fraction of the thickness of an average human hair, which is about 100 microns
• Wet cleaners include EPA-registered antimicrobials and alkaline cleaners, as well as cleaning solutions for hydrophilic and lipophilic soils
• Odorous protein residues can be transformed into water-soluble material through the use of specialized enzyme digesters designed to eat proteins
• Technicians can deploy extraction units, air movers, and dehumidifiers to perform water damage drying if moisture is present
