Grease fires happen quickly and spread smoke and soot far from the kitchen.

SERVPRO Uses Advanced Equipment During Fire Mitigation Jobs in Kent

A grease fire in a Kent kitchen can quickly lay a great deal of fire and smoke damage within a structure, especially if a homeowner makes the mistake of tossing flour or water on a burning pan. This action can work to spread the fire even more by fueling it. 

When the flames flash up during a grease fire in a Kent kitchen, the fire damage can appear in numerous ways, including: 

• Melted and ruined appliances
• Heat and smoked damaged cabinets and counters
• Ruined walls and ceilings 

Everyday Actions During Post-Fire Kitchen Mitigation 

SERVPRO technicians typically section off the work area during house fire cleanup. However, a grease fire can quickly spread smoke throughout the property, and even the ductwork may require mitigation to remove the pungent odor from a protein fire. The technicians removed all the charred building materials and articles from the kitchen area.  

This type of fire deposits oily, smelly protein residues on surfaces. To clean them, SERVPRO technicians use self-mixed emulsions as needed, along with their professional solvent-based cleaners to release the grip the residues have on the countertops and other surfaces.
