SERVPRO Fire Restoration Strategies Eliminate New Britain Home Smoke Damage

Fire damage, no matter the extent, has few options readily available to consumers for effective cleanup. Due to the chemical nature of soot and its tendency to corrode metals upon exposure to moisture, New Britain homeowners are advised to leave their cleanup needs to licensed professionals.

New Britain SERVPRO fire restoration technicians possess cutting-edge tools and extensive training in fire inspection, cleanup, and rebuilding residential properties. This service is available 24/7, including holidays and weekends.

Cleaning From Ceiling to Floor

Fire damage cleanup crews strive to be as efficient as possible during mitigation. This meticulous, tried-and-true process serves multiple purposes. Working from ceiling to floor to remove progressively heavier damage from a structure saves time and resources. This process also prevents potential secondary losses from the accidental spread of soot and soils during cleaning.

For light cleaning of surface-level fire damage soils, technicians can:

• Use Crumbly Cleaner, a unique dry cleaning modality that crumbles as it absorbs soot and soils from walls
• Manually clean surfaces with EPA-registered wet sanitation solutions
• Gently agitate surfaces with dry cleaning sponges, dust cloths, and other dry cleaning methods
• Vacuum dropped soils and residues with a HEPA-filter vacuum that catches particles as small as 0.3 microns, making it well-suited for soot removal

After cleaning, technicians can perform odor control measures, including thermal fogging, HVAC cleaning, placing trays of scented granules near vent intakes, and repainting drywall.
