Smoke and Soot in the Attic

The Cobwebs and Smell of Fire Fill an Attic Space.

One of the most common issues when a fire occurs is getting rid of the lasting smell. SERVPRO of Bellingham takes many measures to assure the odors fade and away.

The first action item is to remove the source. This means to take the burned, charred or affected household items out of the structure.

Next the rest of the contents are removed after being itemized and boxed. The homeowners belongings will be taken to our contents shop cleaned and deodorized and stored until the home is livable again.

Cleaning the structure takes many steps, but one of the unseen issues lies in the attic. Odors are held in the insulation and building materials. Again, removing the affect materials needs to occur. We remove insulation and begin the cleaning process in the attic to remove odors.

Once the structure is cleaned and deodorized we move the contents back into the home. 

"Like it never even happened."
