Soot and Smoke Clean Up

Soot covered this apartment after an electrical spark caused a massive fire.

SERVPRO of Simi Valley deals with a lot of fires in the area, this specific one was caused by a tiny electrical spark from bad plumbing in a A/C and heater unit. This unit covered multiple condominium units and affected many tenants and their belongings. The before picture shows the mess that the soot had left after the flames had been put out and the smoke settled. All tenants had to evacuate because of the health hazards that are brought with fire damages. Including, but not limited to, limited ability to see and hard time breathing; more severe symptoms can include headaches and/or migraines. The HOA was thrilled when the clean up was done and the tenants were able to move back into their homes.
