Is a kitchen fire different from an electrical fire?

Fires leave smoke and soot behind them, and hot smoke tends to move into colder areas, but a grease fire burns differently from a wood surface or a burning polymer fire. 

Natural elements tend to leave fine dust behind, whereas human-made materials result in a sticky residue requiring different cleaning solutions. Beyond the visual residue, homeowners worry about the smell left behind, which our team can help eliminate with the following-

• Enzymes to help break down the protein in odor molecules
• Charcoal-activated filters to remove particles in the air
• Ozone generators to purify the air

Whether the fire was big or small, SERVPRO of Oyster Bay is here to help. Call us at (516) 464-3300 and let us put the smoke and soot behind you until your home feels, “Like it never even happened.”
