Helping Hands after a Fire in Semmes, AL

Helping Hands:

When you experience a fire in your home, the effects can be lasting.  Even if the fire doesn’t cause structural damage, there is usually secondary damage that must be dealt with in a timely manner.  A small kitchen fire can distribute smoke throughout your home, leaving soot residue on everything it touches. Depending on the type of fire there can be oily or dry soot left behind.  Both can require more than a little elbow grease to remove. How you remove the residue also depends on the type of surface that is affected. At SERVPRO of Mobile County, our fire technicians have undergone extensive IICRC training and certification in the best methods to clean, depending on each variable.  For some, it’s simply the task of cleaning that can become overwhelming. These photos show the home of an elderly couple that were victims of fire and simply weren’t up to the daunting cleaning task that lay before them. Our crews were able to assist these homeowners and restore their home to pristine condition. Helping our customers when they need it most is one of our proudest accomplishments!
