Smoke and Soot Damage to Neighboring Property

A question I was once asked: Can my house be affected by a fire in the house next door? The answer is yes! Let SERVPRO do an inspection of your home and find out if smoke and soot has penetrated the interior of your home. It is common for the houses on either side or behind a home that has had an extensive fire to have smoke and soot residue. It can get into the attic and even into the interior of the home by being drawn in through the HVAC system. Depending on the materials that were in the actual fire the soot and smoke residue can be very corrosive to different items in your home. Let SERVPRO inspect the HVAC system and the interior and remove any smoke and soot therein.
