Experience and Equipment Make the Difference Against Fire Damage in Montrose Homes
Fire damage may look overwhelming and seem impossible to come back from. If you outsource the job to a professional restoration company, your odds of lessening the loss are much higher.
One of the main differences between professional DIY fire damage cleanup in Montrose homes narrows down to two main points: experience and equipment. The technicians at SERVPRO undergo extensive training before working on any job site and have a full working knowledge of the tools used and methods needed.
Cleaning Smoke Residues
Using wet cleaners on dry smoke residue can drive it into surfaces and ruin items and surfaces that had restoration potential. SERVPRO techs advise homeowners to avoid doing any cleaning until we arrive on-site to test the residues and determine the best cleaning agents and methods to use. Dry smoke, for example, requires lifting off without the use of any wetting agents. While wet smoke residues often need the application of a solvent-based cleaner to release their grip on surfaces.
Air Quality
Ventilation and reduction of particulate matter in the air are vital to returning the home to a safe environment for habitation. Containment around the work area with plastic barriers or the use of negative air chambers are typical. The techs use air scrubbers throughout the mitigation process to capture soot smaller than the eye can see.
Odor Control
After cleaning away smoke residues and removal of charred items, the techs work on eliminating any remaining smoke odors. The equipment the techs use has the potential to eradicate odors from even porous items like upholstered furnishings through the use of heated solvents that behave like smoke and overtake and eliminate pungent scents.
Post-Cleanup Duct Inspection
The techs can inspect and clean the ductwork as needed; this action ensures that soot does not spread throughout the home when the HVAC is running,
