Rid Your El Centro Home of the Awful Smell of Fire Damage

It is hard to imagine all the ramifications of a fire in your home. It does not have to be a significant or prolonged event for the fire damage to affect virtually every aspect of your home. Often, a simple kitchen fire spreads more soot throughout the home than a large fire.

Regardless of the extent of the smoke damage, rather than tackling the cleanup process yourself, it is best to reach out to specialized, professional, and experienced service providers to return your property to where it was before the fire event.

In El Centro, the fire damage cleanup team at  SERVPRO is ready to help. We are available 24/7 to begin the recovery process. The sooner, the better because soot will etch metal surfaces. The etching gets worse with the passage of time. With smoke damage, the long-term consequences can be overwhelming if proper cleanup does not occur. Months later, on hot days, or with elevated humidity, smoke odors can be re-activated. Thankfully, our "Green Fleet" is trained to get to work and perform soot cleanup correctly to avoid these and other problems.


Aside from the evident restoration of the structure and contents, SERVPRO excels at eliminating the odors left behind by a fire. Depending on the duration and the specific type of smoke, we use various methods and specific cleaning agents to remove the odor, we don't just mask it or cover it up. We also address the HVAC system by doing a deep cleaning of the ducting and air handling unit. 

At SERVPRO of El Centro/Salton City, we are just a phone call away. Reach out to (760) 337-5858 and let us leave your home “Like it never even happened.”
