Fire Damage to small room.

SERVPRO of Carteret and East Onslow Counties responded to a call from Morehead City after a recent kitchen fire.  The whole home was affected by heat, soot and smoke but only the kitchen had significant fire damage.  Thankfully the homeowners were able to get out of the structure with no injuries.  One result of a heavy smoke fire is the presence of soot webs, they look like cobwebs but are black.  Most people assume they aren't very good housekeepers when they see the soot webs, they think that they are cobwebs that have been turned black by the smoke.  The truth is that soot webs form independently when the smoke starts condensing and they have absolutely nothing to do with cobwebs.  SERVPRO of Carteret and East Onslow also collected the homeowners contents to ensure that they are cleaned and disinfected properly. Call SERVPRO at 910-326-1344 if you experience fire damage in your home or bus
