Fire and water can cause significant damage.

During a house fire, there are so many worries and troubles that a homeowner will face. Knowing how troublesome home emergencies are was the inspiration for SERVPRO of East Erie County to become a thing. SERVPRO of East Erie County works with homeowners, business owners and insurance companies to make fire damages “Like it never even happened.”  But how do we take care of the aftermath of fire damages, like smoke damages?

Smoke damages are one branch of the different types of fire damages, but it is important to understand the behavior of smoke. Smoke rises to the upper levels of structures, so during the fire damage mitigation process, SERVPRO of East Erie County will examine upper levels of a structure to inspect the insulation for odor and damage. Insulation can trap smoke and allow the smell to linger, long past the fire. SERVPRO of East Erie County team remove the odorous insulation and then use special cleaning solutions and techniques to remove the smell from a home.
