Certain Variables Hasten Fire Damage Restoration

Our SERVPRO team always intends to provide the most efficient and effective restoration solutions after disasters like fires. As traumatic and damaging as the situation is, our professionals utilize multiple practices to speed up soot and smoke damage removal.

Pre-Cleaning Solutions

Beginning needed fire damage restoration in Willimantic homes involves evaluating the effect of smoke solids on building materials. Specific actions taken ahead of the main cleaning process can make the full procedure faster, which can include:

• Brushing
• Dusting
• Dry Vacuuming

Effective Cleaning Products 

Our SERVPRO professionals utilize a range of concentrated cleaners. Solvents, for example, are used with oily residues and wet deposits to emulsify or dissolve the residue. Chemicals are tested before being widely applied to ensure that they do not cause harm to the underlying material beneath the soot soils,

Agitation and Mechanical Action

As many who have cleaned up spills and stains realize, mechanical action like scrubbing with a hard-bristled brush can lift soils and increase the effectiveness of the cleaning product used. With soot and smoke damage, potent products alone are rarely sufficient to address surface soiling, and mechanical actions to agitate the product are necessary to amplify effects.

Temperature Manipulation

Another point to consider is the temperature of the environment and affected surface. Much like the warmth of the fire during the disaster can widen pores and cause smoke odors to become trapped in building materials, increasing the temperature of affected elements also increases molecular movement and causes chemical processes to occur at a faster rate. Ultimately, this makes reactions to clean or dissolve surface soils more efficient.

Understanding the variables that increase the production and effectiveness of fire damage cleanup is critical in rapidly restoring the structure. Our SERVPRO of Norwich and Windham County professionals can help you make these disasters “Like it never even happened.” Call today at (860) 887-0447.
