How Professionals Remediate Fire Damage in Rocky Point

Fire damaged foyer SERVPRO has the training and experience to clean and restore your fire damaged home.

Why It is Crucial to Invite Professionals to Restore Your Fire Damaged Rocky Point Home

Few forces in nature possess the destructive capacity of fire and its ability to strike any property with no warning. If your property has become a victim of fire, there is a high chance that it has smoke residues, smoke odors, water, debris, and other undesirable substances. It is vital to clean up your home because of cosmetic and health reasons.

You can deal with the fire damage in your Rocky Point home by contacting an ethical and efficient restoration company such as SERVPRO. We follow sensible fire damage restoration steps while providing emotional and moral support. We can deal with several types of destruction that often happen after a fire is extinguished. They include:

Soot staining

Soot is the primary carbon byproduct of burning materials. Most fires involve several kinds of burning materials, depending on what burned. Soot can cause damage of its own on most surfaces it contacts, especially it mixes with water. Textured and porous surfaces are highly vulnerable to soot staining. Soot can discolor specific stones, plastics, carpets, textiles, and unburned wood. The longer such items remain exposed to smoke, the less likely it is to reverse the discoloration, and the high the chance that you need to replace certain items. Our technicians can vacuum dry smoke residues from affected surfaces before using wet cleaning products.

Water damage

Firefighters often use water to extinguish the flames. It is essential to clean up stagnant water, but since water tends to soak into different porous surfaces, moisture removal does not end with drying flooring. Water could have seeped into the floorboards, walls, or below the floors themselves. In multi-story homes, standing water can seep down to the next level, and affects walls and ceilings in the process. Our team can use pumps to remove the water and air movers to expedite the drying process for flooring, walls, and furnishings. We can also use dehumidification equipment to eliminate moisture from your home.

Corrosion

Surfaces made of metal can become oxidized if they interact with oxygen. Water usually gives up its oxygen atom to metallic surfaces, creating corrosion or oxidation. Through oxidation, water can render small electronic conductors and components irreparable should you not restore the equipment on time. Corrosion also eats away at the metal casing of electronic items. Our technicians can clean the outside casing properly and refer the equipment to a competent electronics restorer.

Unpleasant odors

Odors are challenging to remove, especially if they interact with surfaces for a long time. We can use an air scrubber to deodorize your property effectively. The device draws dirty indoor air through several filters that capture gases and odors and exhausts clean air back into the property’s environment.    

With advanced cleaning strategies and products, it is possible to restore a home with fire damage. Call SERVPRO of Port Jefferson at (631) 476-5300 to deal with the destruction and make it seem, “Like it never even happened.”
