When you call SERVPRO of Morristown, a representative will ask the following questions to best assist you:

Using specialized cleaning techniques, chemicals, and dry cleaning sponges, our team will remove soot from ceilings, walls, and other affected surfaces. Your property will receive a professional soot removal service.

How To Minimize Soot Damage in Your Home
Fast action is the key to minimize the damages from smoke and soot in your home. The longer you wait to start the soot damage restoration process, the harder and more expensive it will be for a professional soot removal company to perform cleanup.
Before a smoke and soot cleanup company arrives at your property, there are a few steps you can take to prevent further soot damage:
- If soot damage is caused by a puffback, turn off your heating system immediately
- For a puffback, do not use your heating system until it has been repaired and cleaned of all smoke and soot
- If the weather permits, open windows to allow air flow throughout your home
- Avoid touching surfaces covered in smoke or soot residues
- DON'T try to perform soot removal and cleaning yourself. Improperly cleaning soot can further embed the particles into building materials, making it harder to clean for professional soot removal services.
