Fire damage negatively affects your HVAC system. SERVPRO knows how to remove all traces of the fire.

SERVPRO Can Conduct Fire Damage Repairs in Fort Lee

Whenever a fire breaks out inside your residence, the heat and smoke will rise and affect your upper walls and ceilings. The smoke can also climb into areas like your attic. Fire damage negatively affects your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Once soot residues get inside your HVAC system, foul odors can pass throughout your home.

When working on fire restoration in Fort Lee, our SERVPRO technicians can inspect your HVAC system to determine the extent of the smoke damage. We first determine what types of smoke residues are present. Then, we find out if smoke odors are present and how severe the residues are.

We can start the cleaning process by removing and cleaning your vent registers and air intakes to clean your HVAC system. We can then vacuum all the dust and soot out of the inlet plenum and every outlet. Next, we can wash all of the accessible interior surfaces of your HVAC system using a general-purpose detergent.

If smoke odors exist, we can use an ultra-low volume (ULV) fogger with a deodorizer and duct sealer to mimic the smoke's behavior. We can set the fogger up on an intake in your house and then turn on the blower to pump deodorizers throughout your HVAC system. After running the ULV fogger through your ventilation system, we can place odor counteractant beads inside all the fixtures before putting them all back together.

However, other issues such as water damage can occur during any structural blaze extinguishment. Our highly trained SERVPRO team can also assist you with the following 24/7:
