When you have a fire, whether you think it is large or small, soot needs to be cleaned properly.  Soot from fire damage cannot be cleaned with just water.

SERVPRO uses a special dry sponge on surfaces such as drywall.  It is made of rubber and can be used almost like an eraser.

The dry sponges we use on our fire jobs are incredibly porous and hold a large amount of soot. Once the surface of the dry sponge is dirty, it has to be thrown away and must never be cleaned or reused.

If you have a fire at your San Diego property, leave it to the experts.  There truly is no substitute for training and experience.  We are an IICRC certified firm and have the fire and water restoration expertise. SERVPRO is the brand you know and trust to help restore your property "Like it never even happened."
