Residential Fire Causes Damage to Neighbor's House

Soot From Neighbor's Fire Settles On Piano Down The Block

Many times people think of a fire as only affecting the building owner or the tenants or people living or working in that structure.  People do not realize that fires can cause smoke damage to neighboring structures.

A recent commercial fire caused smoke damage to the neighboring house.  This damage was created by the wind.  During the actual fire, the winds were quite significant and caused the smoke to flow directly at the neighbors house.  The soot then settled on all the horizontal surfaces within the structure.  This photo shows how the soot settled on their piano and by using a white paper towel, one can see the layer of soot that was left behind.    

SERVPRO of SW Waukesha County was called to clean and disinfect the entire structure.  We are the professionals who specialize in fire and smoke damage cleanup and restoration.  The damage caused by the neighbor's fire meant that all countertops, tables, chairs, desks, toilets, etc., had to be cleaned.  SERVPRO even cleaned all carpet and other flooring surfaces.  

If your neighbor experiences a structure fire, please keep an eye on your property because you may be directly impacted by the damage.

For all your emergency fire damage cleaning and deodorization needs, please call SERVPRO of SW Waukesha County at 262-542-0900.
