Smoke and soot aren't the only things that can cause damage after a fire. Sometimes it's water damage from the fire hoses. Other times it's the chemical spray from the fire extinguishers the firefighters use. It may not seem like the chemical spray can do much damage. But the fine powder gets everywhere when it's sprayed. It leaves a white, powdery film on surfaces. Clearly, there are worse things that some chemical spray residue. But it's still a bit of an annoyance. That's where SERVPRO of Howell/Wall comes in. We can clean up all of the chemical spray residue and have your house sparkling again.

Fire is bad. Clearly. I mean, we were all taught that at an early, right? You're never supposed to leave a flame unattended for any reason because something could catch fire and that's never a good thing. Which is exactly what happened to his home in Jackson, New Jersey. A candle was left burning and unfortunately, that caused some rather extensive fire and smoke/soot damage to the majority of the house. A cleanup like this is a huge undertaking, but SERVPRO of Howell/Wall can jump in and take care of a situation like this for you. Fire can be devastating. We're here to make sure the cleanup process isn't.

Laundry is the bane of my existence. All that washing and folding. It's unpleasant. What's even more unpleasant is when the dryer catches fire. Not only are the clothes likely charred, but now there's smoke damage to the laundry room and surrounding area. And who needs that in their life? No one. But that's what SERVPRO of Howell/Wall is here for. When the customer called, we came right in to take care of the smoke damage. We cleaned everything up and made sure the smoke smell was gone from the air. All in all, the customer was very happy with the work we did and we were very happy to help in any way we could.

Not all fires are caused by electrical issues or misused ovens. Sometimes accidents happen. In this case, a cigarette in a garbage can caused the fire damage shown. The damage was pretty extensive in certain parts of the house. We walked the customer through the whole process step by step so they felt comfortable with how the cleaning process would go. We made sure to deep clean the area and run air scrubbers to eliminate the smoke odor in the air. In the end, the customer was happy with the services we provided. The house was cleaned and the smoke smell was gone. All in a day's work!

Have you ever put something in the microwave to heat up some dinner and then walked away to do something else while it heats up? Me, too. Sometimes, that isn't the best idea. If you overheat your food, you can cause some minor smoke damage to your home when the food starts to burn. That's what happened at this lovely home. There was minor smoke damage throughout the first floor on the house that SERVPRO of Howell/Wall came in to clean up for the customer. We also set up an air scrubber to clean the air of the smoke smell while we cleaned the smoke damage. The customer was happy and so were we.

As we all know, fire is bad. Unless you're making s'mores. Then it's great. But fire definitely isn't always great. There are times when it can rip through a home in the blink of an eye. Aside from that being an incredibly scary experience, the aftermath is often worse. As you can see from the photo provided, fire can cause a lot of damage. That's where SERVPRO of Howell/Wall comes in. We can help clean up the damage and put it all back together again. This job was extensive, but the customer was grateful for the professional work we did.
