SERVPRO Uses Various Methods for Convenience during House Fire Clean Up Exercises

When a fire at your Norwich home is quickly extinguished, the physical damage is likely limited to a small section of the property. However, the rest of the house may still require attention. Professional assistance can help ensure the right restoration processes are followed.

When the physical damage is minimal, fire restoration in your Norwich home mostly requires cleanup of items and surfaces. Cleaning takes various resources to help lift off soils from the materials and reach various nooks and crannies such as corners, cracks, and spaces where fine soils tend to accumulate. SERVPRO teams use various tools, including portable vacuums, special dry sponges, and air scrubbers when cleaning.

Cleaning processes may vary depending on the type of restoration being done, including

In rooms located further away from the seat of the fire, accumulation of smoke residues may be the only issue you face. Cleaning such areas is easier since it may only require dusting with feather dusters, cleaning sponges, or vacuuming to remove residues. However, in other areas, moisture may also be present since water is commonly used to quell fires. Moisture sets residues making the cleaning process challenging. Our SERVPRO technicians can spray-wipe surfaces or opt for full wet-cleaning.

Other useful processes that help with the restoration include:

  • Dry Ice or Soda Blasting  to remove up to 1/4" charring
  • Fogging to remove odors
  • Dehumidification to remove moisture from firefighting or cleaning

SERVPRO of Norwich and Windham County provides sufficient resources even when dealing with minor fire restoration processes. Call us at (860) 887-0447 to help resolve any issue that you face, “Like it never even happened.”
