Top Reasons Fire Damage in German Village Should be Professionally Cleaned

Any size of fire damage in a home can leave behind a host of issues to clean before life can go back to normal. One of the biggest problems, especially among protein-based fires, are the residual fire odors, which is something surface cleaning after a home fire cannot remove.

When SERVPRO handles the restoration of fire damage in German Village homes, one of our first considerations is finding items that our proprietary methods can be used for restoration rather than count as a loss. Our goal in home remediation is to attempt to restore rather than have the homeowner incur the cost of replacing items.

Soot travels

Stopping soot from spreading can happen in the form of containment of fire loss areas in the home or removing charred items as they only contribute odor if there is no restoration potential.

Different types of cleanup needed

Depending on the kind of fire such as protein-based, amount of heat generated and materials burned determines the sort of cleaning method SERVPRO technicians choose to use such as dry cleaning sponges on certain types of smoke residue.

Improper drying creates problems

We use both air scrubbers and air movers to both clean and dry areas damaged by fire and water at the same time. Inadequate drying leads to the embedded moisture weakening building materials, foul odors, and in some cases, mold.

Odor removal

Odor control is a considerable part of fire damage cleanup. Since hot air expands, it can drive soot deeply into porous objects, and smoke odors can seem stubborn to remove. SERVPRO technicians have different equipment ranging from gel pellets to hydroxyl generators that safely neutralize airborne soot particles.

Lessen loss through restoration services

Our technicians train through the methods used by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) which utilizes the latest techniques and equipment in the restoration services industry to ensure if a smoke damaged possession has the potential for saving from being counted as a loss, we can do it either on-site or in-plant as needed.
