Fire Damage Disrupts an Oxford Restaurant

8/26/2022 (Permalink)

Even a small fire can lead to a large inconvenience when it comes to your business and clients.  A local restaurant in Oxford recently suffered fire damage after a fan had electrically failed, causing the motor to heat up and the fan to melt.  Plastic soot had spread throughout the facility.  Plastic or synthetic soot is more difficult to remove than other forms of soot damage since the burned contents are oil-based and contain damaged content including plastic materials.

Some areas that were affected included the restaurant’s freshly painted walls and ceilings, the brand new floor and various content including dishes and cookware.  The Oxford business was fortunately already closed since the owners were away at the time, but an issue like this can often lead to substantial business interruption.

In order to completely remove the plastic soot, our fire restoration professionals needed to complete a heavier cleaning with a degreaser, rather than our typical soot sponges.  We also completed hood cleaning, demolition and odor deodorization services in addition to content cleaning and disposal of non-salvageable items.

SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford performs services that encompass all aspects of fire, smoke and soot damage so that no damage is left behind.  We respond immediately in order to limit business interruption for your facility, and we can handle any size commercial loss!
