Kitchen fire damage can be disastrous for any homeowner to tackle. Not only can charring and odors affect your fixtures, furniture, and appliances, but it can also affect your food supply, including canned and jarred items. Worse still, exposure to moisture can make soot deposits acidic, which can corrode metals and plastics in your kitchen.

How SERVPRO Removes Fire Damage

SERVPRO technicians can get straight to work on removing debris as contaminated items after your insurance adjuster has evaluated the situation the appropriate paperwork has been signed approving its removal. Once the debris has been extracted from the kitchen, technicians can focus on cleaning using both wet and dry cleaning methods and working from ceiling to floor. 

If the fire was caused by cooking a protein in the oven, chances are there are invisible protein residues present that can impart especially foul odors in your kitchen. Technicians can use enzyme digesters to turn proteins into odorless, water-soluble byproducts that can be cleaned with ease.
