This week, our team is working to restore an apartment complex in Covington that recently suffered property damages due to a kitchen fire. The fire started because a pot was left on the stove after the renter finished cooking. The renter believed he had turned the stove off, but one of the burners was accidentally left on. Shortly after leaving the apartment, a fire started.

Thankfully, the fire suppression system, a.k.a. the sprinklers, quickly extinguished the flames. The fire itself only damaged the kitchen, but soot and water from the fire suppression lines affected the entire apartment. The sprinklers in three parking garages underneath the apartment also initiated, soaking the ceilings and drywall. 

In just a few weeks, our team has removed all materials determined to be unsalvageable (damaged beyond repair) and is working on drying the remaining structure. 

Pictured here is the result of a house fire in Mandeville, Louisiana. The fire started in the car garage and rapidly spread throughout the living room, dining room, and into multiple bedrooms. The flames engulfed the home leaving it uninhabitable. Our team arrived on site after the fire was extinguished to begin sorting through the family’s contents and begin the cleaning process. Once all salvageable contents were packed up, they were brought to our warehouse where they underwent a deeper, more extensive cleaning before being returned to the homeowners. Our restore versus replace mentality saves homeowners money by restoring precious valuables.

The homeowner was pleased with the work our team performed. If your home or business has suffered fire damages, then please give us a call today for prompt service.

This picture was taken at a home in Robert, Louisiana after a fire started as a result of cooking.

Cooking is the number one cause of home fires and home fire injuries. 47 percent of kitchen fires start as a result of cooking equipment being left unattended. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, stovetops are among the most dangerous appliances in any household. Kitchen fires can grow out of control quickly so make sure you are taking appropriate safety measures when cooking or using appliances.

Oftentimes fires can cause significant soot damage to hard to clean surfaces, like concrete, brick, stone, or ceramic. Sodablasting is one method we can use to remove soot damage from said surfaces. Sodablasting is a mild, but abrasive form of cleaning which utilizes sodium bicarbonate particles and compressed air to clean. It is similar to sandblasting, but it is much more gentle to the building structure.
