The smoke and soot left behind by the fire are difficult to clean. What should I do?
Seek professional help from SERVPRO to restore fire damage in your Morris Plains property
Several factors cause fires in homes that leave property owners in a devastating state with no idea of where to begin. However, professional restorers can get your life back to normal by restoring your Morris Plains home to its pre-loss condition.
Where should I begin?
Begin by seeking help from SERVPRO technicians who have the skill and experience to restore fire damage in your Morris Plains property. We have a team of technicians who can perform a complete and comprehensive inspection of the damage. We help our customers to record and document everything in the property for insurance purposes. Our technicians remove furniture immediately after inspection since smoke and soot embeds itself into fibers after the fire.
How secure is my property during the restoration process?
Our priority in our restoration process is to protect the property from more damage. We plug up any openings to protect the structure from rainfall as well as intruders. Our team of technicians can use plywood by attaching it to the surface around the openings to make insulation easy. We make the cover-up stronger, using two-by-fours, and bolt them with tension to hold the plywood in place.
How do you conduct the cleaning and removal?
It is difficult to clean out smoke and soot after a fire. However, our team of devoted technicians has access to hi-tech equipment and tools to clean any magnitude of fire damage. Since the stain goes beyond the surface, we deep scrub, sand, and refurnish the surfaces to rid of the smoke on hard surfaces such as the floor.
For stains on carpet and furniture, we can use a natural fabric brightener, which is a reducing bleach solution agent. We mix the product with shampoo super concentrate to remove oxidized stains from cotton and wool.
What of the water damage on my property?
We understand that the fire department uses gallons of water to fight the blazing fire. We equip our truck with water damage equipment and tools. The cleanup process includes water removal and drying out all the moisture to prevent further damage. We can use a ventilation box fan that generates an airflow of high velocity. The equipment moves dry air in the property, replacing the moisture in the hard to reach areas. In addition, the box fun removes the charcoal-like odor in the affected area, leaving the residents breathing fresh air.
When the unfortunate happens, contact SERVPRO of East Central Morris County at (973) 887-9100 immediately for effective restoration. Faster to Any Size Disaster.
