SERVPRO Uses Different Fire Restoration Approaches to Fix Any Damage at your House

You might feel lucky that the fire incident at your Middletown home does not involve the significant burning of structural materials and contents. That joy may be short-lived when you examine the visual changes left by the heat and soot. Professional cleaning and other restorative procedures can eliminate blemishes and traces of soiling, “Like it never even happened.”

Even when dealing with superficial changes, fire damage restoration varies for Middletown properties depending on the specifics of the fire loss. Fires can be hotter or cooler depending on what sparks them and the materials they burn. For instance, flash fires, from the ignition of highly combustible materials, burn hotly. The scorching fires leave drier residues but also cause heat damage such as blistering. Cooler fires leave wet residues. 

Fire Restoration Technicians from SERVPRO receive training that helps them adapt to any situation.

Fire restoration training covers many areas, including:

• Water & fire damage restorations
• Fire and smoke damage
• Smoke remediation

Restoring the preloss visual appeal of your property involves mainly the removal of fire residues like soot and reversing changes such as charring or staining. Cleaning plays a significant role. However, it is essential to use the right approach that does not set or spread the soils.

The typical cleaning actions include:

• Mechanical action to dislodge soils
• Lubrication to break the contact between the soil and the affected surface
• Suspension and dispersion
• Chemical action in which one substance synthesizes another

One of the crucial aspects determining the outcome is the level of patience exercised when using the different restoration techniques. Since our SERVPRO teams have several technicians, we can allow sufficient time for each process without affecting the overall timelines.
