Smoke in the Attic

We have specialized tools to remove any insulation.

When you think about fire damage to a home, you think about the smoke, soot, and burned belongings that will need to be replace.  There is also a very necessary step in almost any fire to restore your home like new, and that's removing the insulation. 

When a fire spreads through a room, even if the location of the flames is small, that smoke rises into your attic, and will permeate your insulation.  That's one of the few parts of your home that can not be cleaned, and the smell of smoke will stay in the home as long as the insulation isn't removed.  No one wants a house that permanently smells like campfire, so the insulation will require replacement.

We at SERVPRO of Blackfoot/Pocatello do everything we can to make sure that your home feels like yours again.  We know that a house fire can be devastating, and we want to make sure that you can walk back into your home without smelling a reminder of smoke every day.

So if you have a fire, keep in mind that insulation removal isn't just an option, it should be the standard.
