Oyster Bay Basement Fireplace Fire Damage Cleanup

When a puff back incident occurred in this Oyster Bay home, the fire damage was minimal, and the home's smoke damage was massive. When everything in the furnace suddenly blows out through the vents, nothing in the house escapes getting covered in soot particles and smoke odors. Fortunately, SERVPRO technicians have an array of exclusive proprietary formulas specifically made for cleaning away the stuck-on smoke damage residues on various surfaces such as brick, sheetrock, and wood. Porous items absorb the odors and, with in-depth cleaning tactics on carpet and upholstery in many cases, can get reused, saving the homeowner the cost of replacement. As seen in the After Photo, the techs successfully removed the black soot from the foundation around the fireplace.
