Fire Restoration in Olathe is a Job for SERVPRO and its Team of Experts

Receiving a call in the middle of cooking a meal is just as common in Olathe as in other places across the country. So is forgetting about the meal on the stove while you chat with a friend or family. In just a few seconds, your dinner can become the source of flames that are now climbing above cabinets and melting plastic containers while leaving fire residue throughout the kitchen. When the flames are put out, you suddenly face a mess that only fire restoration experts can handle.

In Olathe, those fire restoration experts are available by calling SERVPRO. Our staff is quick to arrive at all disasters, and we take decisive action to help minimize damage. Once the ignition source is under control, we work quickly to block off unaffected areas and reduce cross-contamination. Sometimes we need to block the use of the ventilation system to avoid ashes from traveling freely and settling in other rooms in the house. Our expert team can assess your specific needs upon arrival and develop an action plan detailed to your home. Some characteristics that inform us and help us decide on the right course of action include-

• Understanding the fire: Was it a grease fire? Was it an electrical malfunction? How long did it burn?
• Evaluating the surfaces in your home: Are they organic, such as wood, or manmade, such as laminate? Each surface leaves a specific residue and requires a particular cleaning solution.
• Following the smoke: When we follow its course, we learn how to deodorize your home best, so the acrid smell of smoke becomes a thing of the past.
