A Misbehaving Grill Causes Smoke and Fire Problems Needing Cleanup and Restoration

During the summer months, many residents enjoy relaxing on patios and decks. Dinner cooked al fresco is a welcome change of pace, and even small outdoor areas feature compact grills that may on rare occasions cause a wooden deck or roof to catch on fire. SERVPRO assists with both indoor and outdoor fire damage fast so summer fun can continue at your Denver BBQ.
 
You planned to end a leisurely day with a delicious meal from the grill with friends and family. An unexpected flare up caused fire damage when it set your Denver townhouse’s second-floor deck ablaze. Exterior siding and the wooden awning burned, while smoke and soot drifted through the open French doors into your living area. Once the fire department completes its final inspection, we arrive to set things right both outdoors and indoors.
 
Our SERVPRO project manager assesses the deck area for safety and to view the damage before work begins. An inspection of the interior of your home is essential even if no actual burning occurred inside. Any hot air, full of smoke and soot, pulled into your home through the deck doors possibly spread smoke residues. Smoke, ashes, and soot are extremely corrosive and discolor, etch, and otherwise, deteriorate surfaces and contents within your townhouse.
 
The SERVPRO crew gets to work, cleaning off charring outside and determining whether any structural pieces need to be removed and replaced. We scrub and refinish salvageable areas, quickly returning your deck to usable condition. Our mission is always to restore as much as possible, saving you money and minimizing the disruption to your place. We work with your insurance to maximize benefits to you through paid claims.
 
If fire damage did invade the interior, we use a range of products to clean surfaces. Light ash and soot respond well to vacuums with HEPA filters and dry sponging. Stickier coatings may need a spray and wipe technique, or an abrasive approach in some cases. SERVPRO has immersion tanks and even ultrasonic methods available if larger and detailed items need specialized cleaning. Clothing and window coverings launder out smoke and soot damage, although dry cleaning may be necessary for delicate or non-washable fabrics.
 
If dinner plans go up in smoke, SERVPRO of West Littleton / Sheridan is ready to help you get through the aftermath of a deck fire. Call us at (303) 593-1374 as soon as the fire fighters depart from your Denver, Sheridan, or Littleton property so we can get on the job quickly.
