Victims of Fire in Camillus Should Call a Professional Service to Restore Their Homes

Electrical fires can be devastating to homeowners. Occasionally they smoke for a while before they are even detected, which makes them even more dangerous. The ensuing damage following the fire itself and the extinguishing efforts can wreak havoc in your home, and the cleanup process may seem overwhelming.

Residents in Camillus experiencing fire damage can call our SERVPRO technicians to assess the situation and develop a restoration plan. Our team is available around the clock to respond to your emergency and kick off the cleanup process. Once the source of the electrical problem is under control and the area is safe, we arrive to return your home to mint condition.

How do I remove the smell of fire?
Even the smallest fires can leave behind a pungent smell that seeps into your personal belongings, including furniture, curtains and other textiles. You may launder and spray your items, but the foul scent still lingers in the air, reminding you of the incident. To clear the air in your home, our SERVPRO team can use one of several techniques focusing on odor eliminations including:

    •    Odor pellets to counteract the smell
    •    Ozone generators to purify the air by eliminating the molecules
    •    Thermal fogging sprays a mist to neutralize the smell

In the odor elimination process, we pay close attention to the path of the smoke and ensure that it did not invade the HVAC system. Additionally, we wipe down surfaces with deodorant solutions to remove any visible residue from furniture, cabinets, and fixtures. Our team also focuses on identifying odor pockets within wall cavities and crawl spaces and getting rid of them using industry best-practices.
