Smoke damage in Superior CO Smoke damage after a fire in Boulder County, CO

Following the Marshal Fire this past winter in Superior and Boulder Colorado, SERVPRO of Greater Boulder aided the community in cleaning homes struggling from soot, ash, and smoke damage.  Here are a few reviews from some happy clients that we were fortunate enough to assist. 

“Aurora and her professional team of 10 worked on my house for 5 full days for smoke and ash mitigation in the recent Marshall fires in Louisville, Colorado. They did a magnificent job and I find no fault in their work as every surface was wiped clean of ash and soot. Her communication was spot on as there were no delays that were unexpected. In this most stressful time, I have to compliment Aurora on management and communication skills. She was also very responsive to my emails and phone calls and for that I really appreciate her. Thanks Aurora and your team.”

-Nicola H.

“Enrique at SERVPRO is great. We had a guest smoke in our airbnb and he was at the property within two hours. Would not hesitate to call them again!”

-Liliya B.

“They cleaned up soot, ash and smoke smell. Cleaned our house, basement and garage. Did a great job on getting our house healthy again.”

Cleaning after the Marshall fire in Boulder, Superior, and Louiseville CO

1/1/2022 (Permalink)

Fire damage caused by Marshall fire in Boulder, Nederland, Superior, and Louiseville causing smoke damage and odor The Marshall fire caused extensive damage to the communities in Boulder County, CO.

As Boulder County and its surrounding areas try to recover after the devastating Marshall fire, some of those in our community may be wondering how to return to their everyday life and restore their property to pre-fire and pre-smoke condition.  If any smoke, soot, or ash entered your home, the sooner clean up starts the better, as the debris from fires can cause lasting damage if left on surfaces.   We care about our community and want you to be able to save the important items in your home or business.  

One of the most effective solutions for removing fire damage and controlling odors left behind is TSP, or tri-sodium phosphate.  TSP can be mixed into different solutions depending on what needs to be cleaned.  TSP is corrosive, so if you choose to use it, make sure to wear rubber gloves to protect yourself and read any warning labels.

Some recommendations from the Red Cross on the usage of TSP

For clothes:

Mix 5 tablespoons TSP in with laundry detergent before washing with warm water.

For walls, floors, and furniture:

Mix 5 tablespoons TSP with 1cup household cleaner into a gallon of water.  After being washed from the floor up to prevent streaking, all areas should be rinsed with warm water then dried.

SERVPRO of Greater Boulder is here for you!

We are so sorry to those in our community who experienced a loss during this time.  Know that our thoughts are with you and please reach out to us at (303)494-2000 if you are in need of help dealing with the aftermath of the Marshall fire.   



Buying a New Home in Boulder County

New home with mold damage and water damage in Boulder County Colorado Protect your family and friends by having your new home inspected for potential health hazards.

Buying a new house is exciting, but it’s important to do your homework to ensure you are going to be happy and healthy in a new abode! 

A home inspection is a wonderful tool for checking the basics, but did you know that a house inspector is not responsible for checking your new home for mold or asbestos? We at SERVPRO of Greater Boulder can help connect you to the right resources to make sure that you aren’t buying a house without knowing whether or not you are dealing with these common and dangerous issues.

Mold

Black mold, or stachybotrys chartarum, is notorious for being the worst mold that you can find, but there are many other types of mold that can create health issues as well.  If mold damage is found in your house, we recommend leaving the affected areas alone and avoiding that area until our professionals can assist with mold removal.

https://www.SERVPROgreaterboulder.com/black-mold

Asbestos

Our asbestos abatement professionals can help make sure that your future home is safe for family and friends.

We hope that your new home is in perfect condition! However, if you find yourself in a situation where you need to make it “Like it never even happened.” SERVPRO of Greater Boulder is here and happy to help!

From Andrew C. in Boulder:

“We had a small fire in my research facility. The fire was put out relatively quickly by the sprinkler system, but the smoke and water damage permeated throughout the laboratory. The damage was immense. SERVPRO of Greater Boulder was there within a few hours of the fire department leaving the facility. They had the water off the floor that night. Early the following morning SERVPRO was there with an army of personnel to start wiping soot off every surface...SERVPRO led the effort from the initial mop up on the night of the fire through the final painting and finish of the room. It looked great when they were done. They were professional, knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. If you need the job done right and done fast I highly recommend SERVPRO.”

Fire and Smoke Damage from House West of Boulder After the fire, we'll be there!

Very invasive, smoke and soot are able to penetrate various areas within your home causing hidden damage and odor.  Using our smoke damage, we will inspect and assess the extent of the damage to develop a plan of action.  

Smoke and Soot Facts:

  • Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
  • Smoke flows around pipes, seeping through the holes used by the pipes to travel from floor to floor.
  • The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.  Did you know that there are different types of smoke?

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry.  Which means, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Greater Boulder will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. 

Our Fire Damage Restoration Services

Since each smoke and fire damage situation is unique, each one requires a tailored solution.  Rest assured, not only do we have the equipment, specific knowledge and know-how to restore your fire and smoke damage, our technicians are empathetic, respectful and will treat your space with care.

After over a 12 hour day for our amazing SERVPRO [of Greater Boulder] friends, demo is done and drying is in progress. They wanted to make sure the demo was done before they left so the machines could spend the night drying out the floor...they got the job done. These people are THE BEST.

Many SERVPRO cleaning products include products the CDC recommends for other coronaviruses (such as SARS).  The EPA has just added three more of our branded disinfectants to their approved product list!  Although there has not yet been product testing against COVID-19, we can assure our community in and around Boulder that we follow all of the CDC-recommended guidelines.

We clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces such as:

  • Counters and tabletops
  • Doorknobs
  • Light switches
  • Toilets & other bathroom fixtures (faucets, handrails, tubs & showers)
  • Tablets, keyboards & other office (home or business) equipment

Together we get it done.

Did you know that winds can reach speeds of up to 60 mph in severe cases?  This kind of wind in your Ara home or business can cause several different kinds of damage, as well as leave areas of the structure vulnerable to rain and other water crisis such as broken pipes.  SERVPRO® of Greater Boulder can work together with you to lower chances for incurring injury and/or cost due to storm damage.

Your part.

How to Prepare Important Documents for a Water Emergency in Devil’s Thumb

10/10/2019 (Permalink)

Important documents in a file folder. Keep your important documents somewhere safe in Devil's Thumb.

Even though we are in a digital age these days, some people still keep paper documents filed neatly in their drawer or a file folder (or somewhere else). However, what happens if those important documents are destroyed due to a water emergency or a flood caused by a storm? It can be so hard to track down copies of those documents and this leads to unnecessary stress among other difficulties depending on what the documents are for.

SERVPRO® of Greater Boulder wants to share the following tips with the residents of Devil’s Thumb:

No matter the method you choose, keeping the documents safe from water damage is the important part.

Computer keyboard with one key stating "We can help you." SERVPRO of Greater Boulder is open 24/7

When you are in the middle of a crisis, it can be difficult to make the right decision. If your Ara home is on fire, the first thing you should do is call 911. If a storm has dropped a power line in front of your office, you would call the power company. These choices are rational, normal choices but whom would you call after the fire is out? Who do you call after the storm ends and you notice the damage is worse than you thought?  Maybe you notice the power line actually fell because a tree branch took it down and damaged a part of your home. 

You call SERVPRO of Greater Boulder. We are centrally located in Boulder, and are efficient, experienced, and open 24/7. We have a trained team of IICRC certified professionals who can take care of water damage, mold damage, storm damage, fire and smoke damage, and even flood damage.
