Fire damage in your kitchen? Here’s what you need to know.

Even after a kitchen fire has been extinguished, damage continues with the after-effects of smoke, soot and water damage.  Vacuuming, wiping down the walls, touching fabric , and any other attempt at cleaning can not only put you at risk of inhaling the dangerous chemicals that are in soot and ash, it could cause further damage to your property.  Professional fire restoration services are necessary to properly clean up after a kitchen fire, and to restore your home to a healthy condition.

Here are the primary areas of concern after a kitchen fire:

Smoke and soot damage

If smoke, soot and ash are not removed from the fire site quickly, they will continue to cause damage and corrosion to surfaces in your kitchen including fabrics, metals, walls, ceilings, and even tiles. Therefore, it is important to begin professional clean up as soon as possible.

Fire and smoke odour damage

After a fire, smoke and odour particles continue to be airborne many days after the fire has stopped. Advanced deodorization tools such as ozone and other professional treatments can effectively eliminate odour from your home after a fire, so you can breathe easy again.

Water damage from fire-fighting

Water used to put out the fire can be devastating to your kitchen floors, walls, furnishings, possessions and even the structure of your home. If not taken care of immediately, the excess water in your home can cause extensive damage to your home’s structure and furnishings and can lead to the growth of hazardous mold.
