Preserving Your Knoxville Bathroom After Fire Damage

One of the devices homeowners rarely have to think about in their homes is the ever-reliable bathroom exhaust fan. However, these fans can catch fire, whether due to electrical failure or dirt buildup. These fires can cause as much as over $30,000 in damage, according to data collected between 2008 and 2015.

If your Knoxville residence requires rapid fire damage mitigation from experienced professionals, the IICRC-certified restoration technicians at SERVPRO can help. These professionals receive extensive education in the fire damage cleanup process so that homeowners can enjoy a clean, safe home once more after a disaster. Technicians can also aid in the claims filing process by taking a comprehensive inventory of damage to structure and contents, meaning you can get a more accurate payout for your needs.

SERVPRO's 24/7 Availability

SERVPRO is uniquely positioned to handle disasters all over the United States of Canada with its over 1,700 franchise locations and constant availability. Whether you require their services on weekends, holidays, or late at night, technicians can be ready to begin cleanup at a moment's notice. It is especially crucial to respond quickly to fire damage because soot is highly corrosive, and odors cannot be easily removed with commercial-grade cleaners.

SERVPRO's Odor Removal Equipment

One of the most persistent issues after fire damage is the odor of soot and burnt materials, which can be unpleasant and spread through the home via the HVAC system. While regular cleanup and disinfection can remove some of these odors, some extra steps may be necessary to rid your home of them. These measures can include a thorough cleaning of vents with agitating tools, and thermal fogging, which allows deodorizing chemicals to penetrate surfaces that same way that soot does during a fire. 

Before and after deodorizing, large axial box fans are used to exchange the air in the home as much as 40 times each time. Not only does this process help eliminate odors, but it keeps the air in your home clean and safe.
