SERVPRO Helps Address Physical Damage, Soiling, and Bad Odor During Fire Restoration
When fire ravages your Jamesport property, you may have a hard time believing that everything can get back to normal. Surfaces may be heavily soiled with soot, while structural materials and fixtures may be charred. An elaborate restoration process is necessary to eliminate the deteriorated materials, soils, and bad odor.
Your desired timelines for completion of fire damage restoration in your Jamesport property may vary depending on factors such as whether you have to seek alternative accommodation or the possibility of secondary issues worsening the damage over time. SERVPRO teams are flexible enough to accommodate any situation that you face.
Some of the steps that lead to a more accommodative restoration include:
- Boarding up the property to secure it
- Setting up containment barriers inside the house
- Content pack-outs to create space for cleanup
Segmenting the fire restoration exercise helps ease the process and can even improve the outcome. In the beginning, significant tasks such as removing burned or charred materials should be prioritized, paving the way for cleanup actions. Our SERVPRO technicians remove wall panels and ceiling tiles because they are damaged or to help expose the underlying insulation, which requires replacement.
After removing damaged materials, cleaning is the other crucial stage to eliminate various soils. Our SERVPRO technicians start with dry cleaning approaches such as vacuuming or feather dusting to remove loose soils. Wet cleaning and other advanced approaches such as blast cleaning using media such as dry ice pellets, sponges, or bicarbonate powder may be necessary for severe soiling. After cleaning, deodorization is essential:
Deodorization mostly takes three stages:
- Chemical containment
- Vapor odor control
- Fogging
