Soot Damage Removal in White Plains Homes 

Soot can be one of the larger obstacles for restoration professionals, primarily because of the finite timeline to remove these soils before irreparable harm results. We carefully inspect impacted materials for the type of smoke damage and determine a suitable restoration solution, such as using solvents or alkaline detergents to neutralize corrosivity and wipe away stubborn soils. 

Smoke Remediation Includes Odor Removal

Remediating smoke damage can occur in many ways, and one of the most needed approaches involves removing harsh odors after extinguishment. Burning smells can overwhelm areas of the house, requiring SERVPRO professionals to utilize our deodorization equipment and chemical agents to help.
