SERVPRO Staff Leads Fire Damage Restoration for Kansas City Homeowners

Kitchen fires in Kansas City are not uncommon, but they are all different. Depending on the combustion source and which materials catch on fire, the ensuing soot and smoke residue have specific characteristics. Enlisting the help of a certified fire restoration crew who can recognize and act upon these differences is essential to a successful fire restoration job.

Fire and smoke cleanup in Kansas City becomes easier when SERVPRO’s certified staff leads the effort. Upon arrival, our crew can handle temporary repairs necessary to create a safe work environment. As required, they can provide move-out services to remove unaffected items from the home and facilitate the movement and cleanup of damaged things. Similarly, we discard unsalvageable items following environmental and local regulations. 

When personal items, furniture, and appliances are involved in the fire, not all of them are a total loss. Despite the fire’s high temperatures, our SERVPRO staff is ready to apply techniques to preserve them if possible. Examples of techniques we often use may include-

• Soda blasting and dry ice blasting, which help remove baked-on soot
• Agitation equipment to dislodge soot from surfaces and facilitate vacuuming and wiping
• Elimination of smell molecules with ozone generators and deodorizing pellets

Our clients often have priceless items affected by the fire. SERVPRO technicians can offer tailored solutions to preserve them without damaging them further. It is also common for personal belongings to suffer water damage following the fire’s extinguishment. We offer specialty drying solutions to help preserve documents, pictures, and electronics when this happens.
