SERVPRO Fire Damage Specialists Can Fumigate and Restore Home's in Monte Sereno

Fire odors are volatile particles that can embed into surfaces, making them tough to remove. The volatile nature of these particles means that odors eventually dissipate. However, during a house fire, high pressure may cause odors to become trapped or make a property unlivable for a period. 

Removing the odor is an essential part of fire damage restoration for Monte Sereno homeowners. These unpleasant smells rarely have a single source, which means odor control is most effective using a multi-tiered approach. SERVPRO technicians employ a variety of techniques, methods, and equipment to combat odors. The first step is to remove any odor-causing materials and to clean soot or smoke from surfaces. If the smell persists, we can use a combination of masking agents, pairing agents, and filtration devices to tackle the problem. 

• Air filtration devices can remove fire odors from a property by passing indoor air through a range of filters. 
• SERVPRO uses high-efficiency particulate air filters to remove particles as small as 0.3 microns. 
• Restoring indoor air quality can also prevent inhalation or ingestion of microscopic soot and dust particles created by a fire. 

A house fire can severely impact the indoor air quality in your home. Contact SERVPRO of Los Gatos / Monte Sereno for fire damage restoration at (408) 600-2020.
