Kitchens are often the space where Smithtown fire damage originates. The SERVPRO team is familiar with the unique needs caused by cooking fire and smoke remediation in a residence.

Why Is Kitchen Fire Restoration So Difficult to Complete?

Residues created during a kitchen fire are unlike the ash and soot produced by burning building materials. The coating left behind instead consists of dehydrated oils, greases, and other components of the superheated or burned food and is:

  • Incredibly smelly
  • Nearly colorless and tricky for homeowners to spot on structures and contents
  • Prone to drifting on the hot currents of air produced by the fire, quickly spreading throughout all spaces in a home
  • Extremely adhesive on affected surfaces  
  • Primarily oil-based and impervious to water-based cleaners

How Does SERVPRO Conquer Protein-Based Fire and Smoke Damage?

Matching cleaning products, tools, and techniques to the damage suffered by your Smithtown dwelling is vital. SERVPRO’s managers and technicians master advanced fire damage restoration interventions taught at the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). House fire cleanup of protein-based residues require professional care as workers:

  • Use solvents
  • Employ abrasive tools or cleaning products infused with grit to loosen the residues’ grip
  • Create agitation to dislodge the coating
  • Consider specialized equipment such as ultrasonic immersion tanks to destroy the residues’ bonds when contents and detachable fixtures  are covered in the shellac-like protein coating
