Fire Restoration for Glen Cove Business Owners

Fire damage can interrupt your Glen Cove business for weeks or even months. Fires impact every business element like the building, tools, supplies, products, and people. Taking the proper steps after a fire incident can help recoup costs and re-open your business on the right foot. SERVPRO ensures that smoke and soot cleaning is done on time so you can resume business operations as soon as possible.

Fire restoration professionals help Glen Cove business owners secure and move any salvageable valuables. Computers and other electronics or documents may be prone to further damage from the fire residues, so salvaging and documentation are essential steps. We work closely with your insurer to guide you in proceeding with the claim. The insurer might want to inspect the items, so we wait for their approval before we begin restoration.

Various Damages Fire Can Cause

• Soiling from smoke and soot
• Moisture or chemical damage by fire suppressors
• Damaged finishes from charring

Cleaning Residue Stains

Smoke and soot damage escalates quickly, and if given time, it causes yellow stains on walls. The acidity in soot begins to tarnish or stain metal within hours. If no measures are taken in weeks, the soot permeating building materials leads to corrosion.

SERVPRO considers the different types of surfaces when cleaning soot from walls and ceilings. Some sections may require dry cleaning methods where we use a sponge to wipe. On the other hand, surfaces with oily soot residue respond effectively to wet cleaning methods with a high-alkaline detergent.

Methods of Cleaning Walls and Ceilings

• Wet cleaning
• Wiping with dry cleaning sponges
• Peroxide active cleaning
• HEPA vacuum cleaning
