A house fire, no matter how small or localized, has the ability to impact the whole house, with cascading after-effects that can linger around for a long time. A proper fire damage restoration service is often a multi-step process and is best left to experienced professionals like SERVPRO of Mount Ephraim/ Bellmawr.
When smoke gets into your ducts and vents, the tiny smoke particles tend to find their way into your HVAC system may linger there for months, undetected. Breathing these particles in is a health detriment and can lead to irritation in your lungs and possible scarring of the alveoli.
Fire damaged areas treated with water will need to be cleaned up quickly, before mold starts to grow, which can happen in as little as 48 hours
