SERVPRO follows IICRC guidelines for house fire cleanup and restoration in Mill Basin homes, especially the kitchens, "Like it never even happened."

Kitchen Fires in Mill Basin Require Professional Fire and Smoke Damage Remediation

Even a seemingly minor kitchen fire in a Mill Basin home can cause extensive damage. Fire residue is typically visible, but even the intangible effects of smoke damage can cause significant problems for homeowners. A thorough inspection of the damage along walls, cabinets, ventilation ducts, and other surfaces determines the correct steps to return your home to mint condition. Having the right team at your side to help you establish an action plan is the best investment a homeowner can make in a time of need.

In Mill Basin, the fire damage restoration team ready to help you around the clock is a phone call away at SERVPRO. Our certified technicians hold the knowledge necessary to understand how the fire and soot spread and traveled through the home, which helps determine how to eliminate its traces. Kitchen fires specifically create a protein-based sticky residue that requires specific cleaning solutions to destroy it. Matching cleaning agents with the type of residue helps loosen it and speed up the process of emulsion as needed.

Our SERVPRO technicians are certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and know how to match products with residue. Among their arsenal of cleaning methods, they may use the following-

• Abrasive cleaning solutions that can help loosen the residue in tougher jobs
• Oil-based solutions to help separate the residue from the surface
• Some smaller items may be subject to immersion in cleaning solutions to help loosen the residue more efficiently
