Fire & Smoke Issue in a Carson City Home

A fireplace in Carson City, when not maintained properly, can lead to the result as pictured in the before photo. A clogged flue resulted in a thick deposit of smoke and soot on the ceiling, walls, and furnishings. This affected room was sealed from the remainder of the house with poly sheeting, as were the sofa and other items. Dry sponge cleanup can successfully limit the cost of the restoration. The vacuuming of the soft materials, use of a mild foaming cleanser, and a deodorizing of the area, effectively completed the task. SERVPRO understands that quickly isolating a smoky area and employing hydroxyl generators, mitigate losses and makes the owner feel "Like it never even happened."
