What SERVPRO Does to Simplify Fire Cleanup in New London Homes

Various issues arise whenever there is a property fire. Many of these are considered severe since they can cause bodily harm or require high restoration costs. Most people do not regard cleaning after a fire damage incident as one of the significantly challenging issues. However, cleaning your New London home can prove challenging since it is a labor-intensive process, and the residues are widespread or deeply embedded in materials.

The challenges fire restoration in New London homes poses depends on the resources committed to the process. That is why professionals like SERVPRO manage the process since we rely on advanced equipment to complete many tasks.

Classes of specialized cleaners:

• Immersion cleaning
• Blast cleaning
• Pressure washing

Your home may require all the classes of specialized equipment to facilitate cleaning since fire produces different types of residues. Typical fire residues include wet smoke residues, dry soot, and embedded charring. A method like pressure washing or blast cleaning is suitable for removing embedded deposits from surfaces. However, since pressure washing introduces significant moisture levels, it is better suited for outdoor areas.

How Item Types and Materials Influence Cleaning

From a restoration perspective, the materials impacted by fires have various uniqueness, including item size and component materials. These variations can influence the challenges that you face when cleaning the property. In small items such as utensils, tools, and jewelry, soot readily coats their surfaces, necessitating cleaning item by item. When our SERVPRO technicians use ultrasonic cleaning, such tediousness is eliminated by dipping fire-damaged items in a tank and cleaning them at once.

Other difficult cleaning tasks

• Unfinished wood
• Old surfaces
• Delicate materials like acoustic tiles

The primary issue with old or unfinished materials is porous exteriors, so soot penetrates their surfaces, thus making the cleaning process a challenge.
