Our IICRC-certified and highly experienced technicians can handle every aspect of fire damage restoration, from the initial assessment to the final repairs, ensuring that your home is thoroughly restored.

A fire incident in the kitchen can result in oily soils, which require special cleaning techniques. SERVPRO team members emulsify light oily soils in water-based detergents or dissolve heavier soils with oil-based solvents to restore the situation "Like it never even happened."

Fires result in smoke and soot that can cause additional damage and pose health risks if not adequately addressed. Our specialists find, identify, capture, and remove residues by vacuuming and dissolving. We wash using HEPA-approved cleaning agents, rinse with cleaning solutions, and dry using air movers or natural air movement.

Dishes are fragile, delicate items that are easily affected by heat damage. After a kitchen grease fire, we clean your dishes quickly to avoid hard-to-remove oily residues from coating them. We presoak with heavy-duty cleaners and degreasers to completely remove heavy smoke residues.

Call SERVPRO® for Help Cleaning and Restoring Your Home After Fire Damage

In the chaos of a fire at your Huntingtown home or business, it is often difficult to focus on recovery and restoration activities. Even with a small kitchen fire, firefighters are traipsing through your home; they have doused the fire with chemicals or water, and there may be smoke odors in the kitchen. Are your family and your pets ok? You must talk to the fire chief and concerned neighbors, offering help and empathizing with your situation.

Once the situation is under control, it is time to call SERVPRO to help clean up and restore the fire damage in your Huntingtown home. We can be onsite within four hours of your call, 24/7, assess the damage, and prepare a plan to clean, repair, and restore your home to its original condition "Like it never even happened."

Always keep your own and your family's safety in mind. Be careful of electrical hazards and watch for slippery areas such as wet floors. Stay out of the house until the firefighters give the all-clear sign. Wet materials can be very heavy, straining backs and stretching muscles unaccustomed to heavy weights.

Additional considerations regarding what to do after a fire include:

  • Avoid walking on carpets and touching upholstery, which can embed soot particles into the fabric.
  • Keep your hands clean, especially when touching fabrics, walls, and furniture.
  • If you must walk through a carpeted area, placing clean towels over the carpet will help protect the carpet.
  • The electricity may need to be shut off for a day or two. Empty your fridge and freezer, and keep the doors open. 

During the restoration process, SERVPRO will clean and dry all surfaces, disinfect, and make required repairs as needed.
