Our Professional Fire Restoration Team Supports the Claymont Community After a Residential Fire

Homeowners in Claymont visiting their home after a fire may feel despair as they look at the state of their home. Assessing the impact of the fire damage and determining how to clean up soot and ashes left behind is not simple. Protecting unaffected areas of the house is also difficult, and all restoration activities require the help of a professional team with certified training and experience.

In Claymont, fire damage restoration expertise lives within our SERVPRO team. Removal of soot, debris, and smoke residue falls within our typical service scope and is at the core of the restoration plan we tailor to your needs. Upon arrival, our team evaluates each affected area and establishes a course of action based on the type of surface and the corresponding EPA-recommended cleaning solutions. Typically, soot will fall into one of the three following categories:

  • Protein-based soot- commonly caused by grease in kitchen fires, it tends to be airborne and sticks to surfaces while leaving a foul smell behind. Sometimes it is invisible but can be felt to the touch.
  • Dry soot- wood, paper, and other organic materials leave this kind of residue behind, which is light and generally easy to remove with the correct cleaning solution.
  • Wet soot- when polymers such as plastic containers burn, wet soot sticks to each surface. This remnant is sticky and thick and cumbersome to remove.

As a homeowner, you only need to place a call to SERVPRO of Brandywine/Wilmington at (302) 762-8080 and let us take care of the rest. Our expert team brings fire and smoke damage restoration services to your doorstep and leaves your home “Like it never even happened.”
