WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE HAD A MAJOR KITCHEN FIRE.
After a kitchen fire, it’s important to know the facts about fire and smoke damage. You need to consider some things before you try and do the cleanup yourself.
Attempting to do your own cleaning after a kitchen fire can be a health risk and cause more damage to your property. Cleaning activities like vacuuming, wiping walls, and handling fabrics can be harmful to your health.
Significant risks of inhaling the dangerous chemicals present in smoke, soot, and ash exist. Without the proper training, experience, and specialized products and techniques you can cause further damage to your property. Ash and soot require specialized cleaning from a professional kitchen fire restoration company. ServiceMaster Restore of Central and North Okanagan specializes in kitchen fire damage repair and restoration for Kelowna, Vernon, West Kelowna.
After extinguishing a fire, you must quickly clean and remove smoke, soot, and ash from the site. The acidic chemicals present in these substances will continue to contaminate the indoor air quality of your home. The longer these chemicals remain, the greater the damage and corrosion will be to surfaces and materials.
Smoke, soot, and ash particles continue to be airborne. This will cause permeating odours in your home for weeks or even months after the fire is out. Advanced deodorization tools such as ozone and other professional treatments can effectively eliminate after-fire odour from your home.
PRIMARY CONCERNS TO CONSIDER AFTER A KITCHEN FIRE IN YOUR HOME:
SMOKE AND SOOT DAMAGE
Soot, smoke, and ash residue will contaminate the indoor air quality of your home and corrode surfaces. These substances will rapidly cause further deterioration of your property. Beginning professional fire damage clean up as soon as possible after extinguishing the fire is critical.
FIRE AND SMOKE ODOUR DAMAGE
As well as physical damage caused by fire to your home, smoke and ash particles continue to be airborne. This can cause permeating odours to remain for a long time after the fire is out. Powerful specialized tools like ozone and other treatments can remove odour from your home after a fire. Allowing for the air quality in your home to be clean and safe so you can breathe easy again.
WATER DAMAGE FROM FIREFIGHTING
Water used to put out the fire can be devastating to your kitchen floors, walls, furnishings, and other possessions. If not addressed promptly, the surplus water in your house can also lead to significant harm to your home's structure. Water damage can quickly lead to the growth of hazardous mould. Mould can grow and proliferate in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
