SERVPRO Aids with Fire Restoration in Riverhead
When most people think about a fire igniting inside their homes, they think of a devastating disaster with several burned materials in the structure. However, most structural blazes are minor, but they can still cause damage in the form of soot residues and unpleasant aromas.
When our SERVPRO crew works on fire damage restoration in Riverhead, cleaning your structural components and possessions can become a significant part of the project. During remediation jobs, our number one goal is to return your house to its pre-damaged state. To do this, we must clean off any soils on the surfaces of your contents and building materials and remove any malodor particles. But, cleaning soot can be very difficult depending on the type of soil present and the kinds of surfaces affected.
Luckily, our SERVPRO technicians have access to various products to clean your different types of contents. When your property needs to be dry cleaned, we (or a third party dry cleaner) can use petroleum-based dry cleaning solvents for residues on draperies or fabrics that might shrink if wet cleaned. Volatile dry solvents evaporate quickly and leave behind no residues. Volatile solvents can suspend soils and act as a lubricant to remove them.
We can use wood oil soaps or furniture polishes to clean away soot residues from wooden items. When cleaning carpets or upholstered furniture, we can use a combination of shampoos, pretreatments, and fabric rinses to get rid of soil.
We can also provide services other than cleaning:
- Fire Damage Debris Removal
- Structural Deodorization
- Fire & Water Damage Restorations
- Pack-Ins and Pack-Outs
