What Factors Typically Influence Fire and Smoke Removal?

6/1/2021 (Permalink)

Fire incidents lead to different challenging outcomes. After such an incident, restoring property may require several processes, including removal of damaged materials and accumulated fire residues. Although a significant percentage of materials are readily removable, some might prove challenging to address.

An issue such as the fire's intensity or the type of materials in the property can alter the outcome, affecting the ease of fire and smoke removal. Smoldering fires emit minimal heat and produce wet residues, which are difficult to clean off surfaces. Before SERVPRO embarks on restoration of the damaged property, we check for issues like:

• Type of surfaces since porous top allow deeper penetration of residues
• Amount of moisture involved
• Whether there are older materials or contents
• Signs of residue impingement on flat surfaces`

With a deeper understanding of fire loss situations, our SERVPRO technicians maximize the use of different resources, including better mechanical agitation and chemical product application, to ease the cleanup processes.
