Cleaning Fire Damage – Epping, NH 03042

Written by jsolloway on . Posted in , , .

Fires are a devastating disaster that no New Hampshire (NH) family ever wants to experience. The overwhelming emotions and stress surrounding the cleaning fire damage process and next steps can leave a family feeling defeated and exhausted. The experts at Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration Services know how difficult the cleanup process is after a fire. When cleaning fire damage our crews work promptly and diligently to ensure the restoration process is performed to the highest of standards. Whether your home or business has experienced a fire due to an unattended candle, clogged dryer vent, overheated appliance or even a cooking mishap, the professionals at Soil-Away are here for you.

Deep Fryer Causes Steep Damage

 
It’s Thanksgiving Day at your home in Epping, and you are putting your Bobby Flay cooking skills to the test with your deep fryer and a partially-thawed turkey. Your family and friends are due to arrive later in the day, and you want to ensure all of your Thanksgiving Day meals are ready to go. You place the turkey into the deep fryer and rush off to get the items prepared for the next dish. Out of the corner of your eye, you see large flames erupting from the deep fryer, and soon, a portion of the kitchen is engulfed in large flames and splattering grease. After the fire is safely extinguished by the local fire department, you contact your insurance company to get the claim process started for the Thanksgiving Day disaster. The insurance company recommends Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration Services to start cleaning fire damage from your smoldering property immediately.

Soil-Away crew members are available for emergencies 24/7 and will promptly assess fire damage when an unexpected fire strikes your home or business. Our professionals will remove unwanted soot and deodorize the smoke odor from your property with industry grade equipment that is designed specifically for cleaning fire damage. Any personal belongings such as clothing or blankets that were damaged in the fire may be restored by the Esporta Wash System. Cleaning by Esporta safely and effectively removes smoke odor and soot from soft-contents. In the event that baseboards, cabinetry or floorboards become damaged from a fire, Soil-Away crew members will remove the damaged material and safely dispose it.
 

What Went Wrong?

 
With Thanksgiving Day being one of the top days for reported cooking fires, it is essential to know what can cause a kitchen fire and how to prevent one from occurring. For example, a partially-thawed turkey cooking in a deep fryer has the potential to start a fire due to the high moisture content mixing with hot oil. When preparing meals in a deep fryer, it is essential to keep in mind the following tips:
 

  • Always fully thaw food items before deep frying them.
  • Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil. The temperature should remain around 350-degrees to ensure the oil does not get too hot. Oil that is too hot, such as 400-degrees, can result in a fire.
  • Do not overflow the deep fryer with oil.
  • Do not use a deep fryer inside of your home, garage or porch or deck. When using a deep fryer, it is recommended to do so away from any structure or flammable item(s).

All I have to say is WOW and FANTASTIC. I just got done building out my new professional office with Soil-Away’s construction division and they went ABOVE and BEYOND. Scott and Mike, the carpenters are skilled artisans. The project got done on time and the project came in on budget! The finished results have been blowing people away. Much better than I could have anticipated. Anyone is welcome to come to our office, Bright Light Chiropractic in Hooksett to check out the fine work they did. Simply can’t sing enough praises for them. Sorry that the picture doesn’t do the job justice. Thank you Jack and your team. -Dr. Jay

Since day one, I’ve known the owner, Jack, to be a hard-working and selfless leader. Through the efforts of him and his team, he was able to restore my flooded restaurant to tip-top shape. I was amazed with Jack’s orderliness throughout the entire process. Jack has proven to me that he is trustworthy, as both a friend and an individual in the work environment.

Highly recommend Soil-Away. A pipe in our upstairs bathroom gave and sent water down through a wall for at least a day before we noticed water dripping through our kitchen ceiling. Our insurance put us in touch with Soil-Away and they were at our house the next morning to assess the damage and dry things out. Joe, Ray and Tom were phenomenal to work with. They explained every part of the process to us and were very professional and friendly. If you have to deal with similar issues call Soil-Away, you won’t regret it.
