SERVPRO Technicians Can Handle Hazardous Substances during Fire Damage Restoration in Riverhead

There are cases where some Riverhead residents have attempted to do fire damage restoration without professional help after experiencing the unfortunate experience. Did you know that the loss site may have some harmful substances? It is the reason why we recommend letting trained professionals like our SERVPRO restore your property. We are trained to handle hazardous materials to remove and dispose of such substances following state regulations.

Which Hazardous Materials Do SERVPRO Technicians Handle When Restoring Fire-Damaged Structures in Riverhead?

Some of the cleaning products we use when restoring your fire-damaged Riverhead home are hazardous and need to be handled using appropriate personal protective equipment. For instance, some deodorizers are corrosive, so we wear rubber gloves and N95 masks to stay protected. Asbestos may also be a hazard in older buildings since it might have fire retardation or insulation. There might also be the danger of waking in an unstable building with a loose ceiling, cracked walls, and floors. To promote safety at the site, our SERVPRO technicians perform the following:

• We use air scrubbers to remove any deodorization vapors that might be in the work area
• We ensure there is sufficient ventilation in the area until the cleaning products have dried
• We identify physical hazards which are likely to cause slip and fall dangers
• We secure the site to prevent children and pets from accessing it
