Initial cleaning and restoration protect fire-damaged Falcon Heights kitchen spaces.

Fires can happen at any time and without warning. When kitchen fires flare-up, the entire room and adjacent spaces can be overwhelmed with smoke residues, odors, and other immediate concerns. Our fast response to the situation allows us to begin mitigation as soon as possible.

The Damage of Protein Fires

When situations like grease fires or kitchen flare-ups overtake the room, fire restoration in Falcon Heights homes must begin as soon as possible. This specific type of fire can leave formidable damage to affected surfaces, and cabinets and countertops can often show:

• Blistering
• Charring
• Odor damage

Cleaning Finished Cabinet Surfaces

There are many powerful products in our recovery inventory that can help remove residues and deposits from the surface of installed cabinets. Protein fires and their thick soils require solvents to emulsify and dissolve the greasy residues. Wet cleaning must be done carefully for several reasons, but mostly to prevent an adverse chemical reaction with the surface soiling that makes soot cleaning impossible.

Is Replacement More Cost-Efficient?

There are times that the proposed costs of clearing soot and smoke residues from the surface of unfinished or finished woods might be too high. When the costs of removing soot and restoring the finish of cabinets and other surfaces exceed the proposed price of replacing the construction element altogether, it is more efficient to use our general contractor license for controlled demolition and new installation.
