If your attention wanders while dinner ends up charred to the kitchen walls, you’ll be in good company. SERVPRO^® of Commerce City will make sure the décor doesn’t remind everyone for the rest of the life of the house.

In the United States, most kitchen fires are small and contained, which means the flames are less likely to escape from the kitchen than are larger uncontained fires. That doesn’t mean, however, that the smoke will be similarly uncontained. Smoke has fewer boundaries and may therefore end up doing much more damage than the flames if it is not remediated correctly.

Aftereffects of a Fire

Kitchen-fire residue often surprises people by how much of it they don’t see. Smoke from protein (much of our food) is largely invisible; we can feel it (greasy) and smell it (pungent), but it is nearly colorless.

The residue from even a small fire may consist of several materials, including fabrics, grease, carbohydrates, proteins, plastics, and paper. These residues may show up at different times, so homeowners may think they have cleaned up an area, only to find new stains or odors appearing at the same site an hour or so later.

Further, smoke particles are light enough to travel through the air even when the HVAC is not in use but sticky enough to land on and adhere to surfaces. These properties make the odors and stains difficult to eliminate. At SERVPRO of Commerce City, we know how to look for and attack the residue. We follow air currents, go to places that are likely to be cooler than others (such as windowpanes compared to walls, upper floors, and high shelves), and to nail heads in wall studs – all places that attract smoke, and therefore stains and odors.

We have the techniques, cleaning/disinfecting solutions, and the equipment to remediate the damage, eliminate the odors, and restore the property to its preloss condition.

Sports Trivia!

Wheelchair tennis champion Esther Vergeer retired in 2013 after 470 uninterrupted wins and four Paralympic gold medals. Dang, she earned that retirement!
