Wildfire Debris and Smoke Residue Removal for Santa Ana Homes

Sometimes your Santa Ana home can fall victim to a disaster that does not even occur directly to or in your house. Wildfires and other natural disasters occur throughout California more often than they should, and as a result, many properties become affected by the spread of these disasters indirectly. With wildfires, smoke and soot damage can get both inside of your home and coat its exterior, requiring the professional expertise of restoration technicians to remove effectively.

When your home gets affected by these various forms of fire damage in Santa Ana, you might believe that you can quickly clean affected surfaces on your own to both save time and money, but this is not the case. What many homeowners do not realize is that smoke and soot residues easily stain surfaces and affected structural elements without the appropriate removal techniques. It is always advisable to seek out the rapid response and experience of our SERVPRO professionals to recover from wildfire damages.

From the time that our professionals respond to your call, we can begin establishing the full scope of the damage to your property with a thorough inspection. This assessment can often reveal affected areas of your property that you were not aware had become affected, such as the HVAC systems. Air intakes on outside units can absorb a considerable volume of soot and smoke particulates as they continue to affect the area, which can spread these damages throughout your home and the ductwork inside.

Our SERVPRO technicians have effective tools for removing soot from both the exterior of your home and from the entirety of the HVAC system. By cleaning the ductwork quickly, we can help to limit the exposure of your home to further soot and smoke damages when the unit can safely get turned back on.

Wildfires and other natural disasters can affect your home, even from a considerable distance away. Let our SERVPRO of Santa Ana South show you the full measure of our extensive training and industry-leading equipment. Give us a call at (714) 558-7772 to make this damage “Like it never even happened.”
