SERVPRO Uses Latest Tech in Fire Damage Restoration of Glen Cove Homes
Restorative cleaning can reduce the cost of your fire damage claim. SERVPRO experts use the latest technology and apply the principles and elements of cleaning to restore fire damage to your Glen Cove home to preloss condition.
SERVPRO’s goal while restoring fire damage to your Glen Cove home is to remove the smoke and soot residues as quickly as possible. The heat, oxygen, moisture, and gas interact with the smoke residues in many ways creating a great variety of cleaning challenges. SERVPRO techs use different cleaning approaches to capture and remove these residues to limit the extent of the damage.
Deodorization During Smoke Remediation
Fire and smoke damage often produce odors that can be very strong and persistent and can linger for a long time if not treated properly. The main objective of SERVPRO techs during deodorization is to eliminate the source of the odor and restore the affected area to its preloss condition.
SERVPRO techs use several pieces of equipment to combat odors in fire-damaged homes, including the following:
- Pressure/electric sprayer
- Ozone generator
- Photocatalytic oxidizer
- Air scrubber
- Thermal fogger
Thermal fogging is one of the most effective methods to treat smoke odors. It involves using a fogging machine to generate a dense, hot fog that penetrates deep into the affected materials and neutralizes the odor-causing particles.
Sealing the Surfaces During Smoke Remediation
It involves removing any visible soot and smoke residues from surfaces and then applying a sealant to prevent the odor from re-penetrating the affected materials. The sealant also helps to prevent the growth of contaminating microbes, which can contribute to unpleasant odors and potential health hazards.
