Fire and Soot Damage Services
Move-Outs
Reconstruction will be necessary when the structure has been too badly burned to continue to occupy. In order for the repairs to proceed smoothly, all personal belongings will be relocated to our warehouse for cleaning, deodorization, and storage. Our supervised professional moving crew has the knowledge and experience to pack and move entire contents from any size home. Need to include information on how they are inventoried.
Odor Removal
Odor exists when smoke or a fire has occurred. Sometimes the worst part of smoke or fire damage is the odor that remains. We provide specialized services that rid your home or business of odor. Our technicians will not merely cover it up with a fragrance, but will get to the source of the odor and neutralize it for good.
Ductwork & HVAC
Ductwork and return air are usually the first items checked and cleaned at most smoke or fire losses. In most cases, a HVAC system was operating when the fire occurred and it could circulate the smoke odor throughout the building. The interior of this duct system is often galvanized metal and an excellent surface to attract soot, which must be either removed or immobilized before the system can be used. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit will then be inspected to determine the extent of soot in the unit. We will purge the system of soot, and a sealant will be fogged into the ductwork system toensure there is no fallout. The filters in all HVAC units will either be cleaned or removed to eliminate any odor and residual soot.
Ceilings & Walls
Using SERVPRO of Weymouth's recommended steps and materials, your ceilings, walls, and woodwork will be restored to your satisfaction. Your SERVPRO of Weymouth technician will first pre-test to analyze the extent of the damage, saving you money by expertly cleaning lighter soot without the expense of repainting. When there are higher concentrations of soot, we will clean the area with specific techniques to prepare the surface for smooth repainting.
Carpets & Rugs
Your carpeting, area rugs, and Oriental rugs will need a thorough cleaning after smoke or fire damage. If not properly cleaned immediately, residue from smoke or soot will settle in on the fibers and will continue to be ground in every time someone walks on it. We will prevent long-term damage by thoroughly removing residue with our state-of-the-art equipment. Whether it is wall-to-wall carpeting or the most expensive Oriental rug, SERVPRO of Weymouth is an expert at cleaning all types of carpet fibers.

Our trained crews collect clothing for specialized deodorization and cleaning. Fine furs and leathers are carefully inspected and processed by the finest experts in the area. Your family's wardrobe is thoroughly deodorized and cleaned so that all garments are free of the lingering smell of smoke.
