Why SERVPRO is the Right Choice for Handling Fire Damage in New Britain
8/6/2019 (Permalink)
We understand the importance of cleaning your fire damage in New Britain.
Fire is powerful, destructive, and it can spread quickly while consuming everything in its path. Depending on how intense the fire is and how long it takes to extinguish it, your New Britain residence can suffer some scorching and smoke damage. Your home could require a deep clean of the contents, odor removal, and redecoration.
A major fire can lead to significant structural damage to your home and the loss of many of its contents. Restoring and rehabbing your New Britain home after fire damage involves several tasks. You need to work with professionals who know how to resolve the issues associated with a fire indent. That’s why SERVPRO is the right company to hire. We have the specialized knowledge, resources, and expertise to restore your property to preloss condition within a short time.
Our FSRT, Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration technicians can inspect all losses and document the condition of your property carefully. Several problems can occur if you do not address the presence of smoke and soot particles in your residence quickly. For instance, woodwork can discolor and weaken. Acid can ruin ceilings, walls, and wooden floors at a micro-level. You may not notice it at first, but wood can eventually crack, flake and scratch more easily if caustic substances have chemically weakened it.
The corrosive residues from smoke can combine with moisture and create weak acids. These acids may destroy the metal parts of your house and furniture, giving them an unpleasant appearance and diminishing their ability to carry weight. Our technicians locate smoke residues by inspecting the affected areas carefully. We begin the inspection close to the source of fire and trace how far the smoke moved in a house. Our restorers also identify the type of surface and residues and choose a cleaning method that can remove the residues without ruining the surface. We use dry or wet cleaning processes to release and eliminate residue particles from the affected surfaces and dispose of them properly.
There could be water damage in your home because of firefighting efforts. Water in smoke-damaged areas can contain caustic substances that make it acidic. Our SERVPRO crew has the appropriate equipment for extracting the water, drying out your home and checking for hidden sources of moisture. Some of the equipment we use includes:
- Wet/dry vacuums
- Air movers
- Dehumidifiers
- Moisture sensors
- Moisture meters
- Infrared cameras
We also offer pack-out services for valuable possessions. We can carefully remove the items that fire, smoke, or water has ruined, clean them in our facilities, and return the restored items to your house. If the fire damaged some parts of your home like carpeting, hardwood, walls, attic, or ceilings, we can hire licensed subcontractors to repair, restore, or replace the affected materials.
