Even a small fire can cause odors for years to come if the affected areas are not properly cleaned and deodorized.  Fire, smoke and soot damage in your home or business can be unpleasant and potentially permanent problems.

As various materials burn, the smoke produced travels throughout the structure leaving odorous residues and deposits on surfaces and hard-to-reach places. Unless fast, professional action is taken, these residues and deposits can cause permanent damage to contents and may result in resurfacing odors. 

With technicians certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC), SERVPRO of Spring/Tomball's Professionals provide specialized services that can rid your home of offensive odors left by fire or smoke damage. SERVPRO of Spring/Tomball's professionals do not cover up lingering odors with a fragrance; they seek out and remove the sources of odor. Once the source is found, SERVPRO’s own proprietary line of cleaning products are used to treat and prevent the odor from returning. Any restorable item in affected areas will also be cleaned and deodorized, including furniture, draperies, upholstery, electronics, art, flooring, walls, ceilings, HVAC air ducts, and more!

For home owners, there are few bigger headaches to come home than finding your home vandalized. Whether a broken window, an egged or keyed car or a front door defaced by graffiti, vandalism harms both the appearance and value of your home and property.

The key to relieving a home vandalism headache is having a quick restoration response plan.

1.) Remove any debris from the area vandalized. If your car or home was damaged by eggs, be sure to hose down the exterior of your vehicle or house. Vacuum glass particles from carpet and upholstery.

2.) Write down a complete inventory of all damaged and destroyed items.

3.) Promptly call your insurance company after discovering the damage. The longer you wait to report the damage, the more detrimental the damages will be. Gather any damaged items for your insurance company, who can use the items to estimate the size and take pictures.

4.) Report the damage to police. Law enforcement will help you gather evidence of the damage and will pursue the vandals.

The final step is simple: Call SERVPRO of Spring/Tomball to go to work for you and eliminate your home vandalism headache.
