When you live in a condo or apartment complex, you are particularly vulnerable if a fire occurs.

Several condos were affected when a kitchen fire occurred in this complex. The condo where the fire originated required extensive demolition of the walls and ceilings, as well as the flooring. The adjoining condos were also affected by the smoke, which had spread throughout the building. The SERVPRO of Newtown and Litchfield County crew created a fire restoration plan and cleaned the structure and walls of soot. We filtered the air and used the odor removal system to remove the smoke smell from the building. 

When the furnace had a puff back in this Newtown home, the soot damage was substantial. The clean up included walls, carpeting and personal possessions as well as the duct work. This filter shows the amount of soot that blasted through the house. Since the soot from a puffback is from the oil burner, it is sticky and thick. It cannot be cleaned traditionally (this will cause it to smear rather than lift).  Puffbacks require professionally cleaning and are typically covered under homeowner's insurance. 

When a tractor spontaneously caught fire in the garage of this Sandy Hook home, the smoke came up from below and filtration occurred in the carpet fiber in the den of the main level. The smoke had gone through the floors to the level above. Smoke and soot can cause extensive damage even after a small home fire and unless you know how to look for it, it may not be discovered. The SERVPRO of Newtown & Southern Litchfield County team has the experience to know what to look for after house fires to make sure it is cleaned up right.
