SERVPRO Fire and Smoke Remediation Uses Proven Practices to Cleanup Teaneck Houses 

Fire restoration in Teaneck frequently involves a cooking mishap or other kitchen ignition. Kitchen fire and smoke damage also deposit tenacious, toxic, and malodorous residues on surfaces throughout your home. The coatings are protein-based, representing the dehydrated remains of foodstuffs and oils. They transform into a rancid, ill-smelling yet transparent film requiring professional skills and products for removal.
