When fire damages affect your home or business, one of the additional issues that often arises is the lingering smell of smoke.  To address this issue, SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County utilizes industry leading equipment, such as the hydroxyl pictured above, to dismantle the structure of the odor molecules and remove the smell from the fire.

Residential fires can have multiple effects other than the flames themselves: soot and smoke can permeate through the property, affecting both structure and contents, fire extinguisher dust can soil items, or water from firefighting efforts can cause additional damages.  Recently, a local resident had a fire which damaged quite a bit of the structure of the home, but only caused minimal contents damage.  As a result, SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County was able to salvage and clean a great deal of furniture, which we then wrapped and stored until the homeowner was able to take back possession of the items.

These residential fire damages were a result of faulty wiring in the attic space.  Fueled by insulation, the fire spread quickly throughout the ceiling and roof, resulting in a need for the fire department to respond.  The firefighting efforts led to extensive saturation of the remaining structure and contents.  SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County began the restoration process with by boarding up the exposed areas, followed by water and unsalvageable material extraction, and then structural drying and contents cleaning.  

SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County recently responded to a home that had been damaged by a dryer fire.  Fortunately, the fire had been mostly contained to the laundry area, however, smoke odor had traveled through the residence.  Our team removed and hauled away the damaged dryer, removed the soot residue from the surrounding area, and remediated the smoke odor from the house.

The charring on this door is the result of an electrical fire on the front porch on the other side.  The heat and intensity of the flames pushed smoke and soot through the door, allowing odor and particulates to spread throughout the home.  SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County not only provided fire clean up services for the property, but also performed specialized cleaning for the contents of the home.

Faulty microwave wiring resulted in a kitchen fire for a local resident.  Not only did the fire melt the microwave itself, it also created a layer of soot on the cabinets and a smoke odor throughout the home.  Our team addressed all of these issues, helping return the home to its preloss condition.

This was the result of a kitchen fire in Pensacola, Florida.  After arriving on scene, SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County began cleaning and "packing out" the contents of the kitchen that could be salvaged, removing the appliances and cabinetry that could not be salvaged, and restoring the kitchen to make it "Like it never even happened."
