How Professional Fire Damage Restoration Businesses Provide Assistance

Types of Fire Damage
There are two types of destructive Morris County fires that can occur at a residential or commercial property. One variety is a small centralized fire in a kitchen or living room that damages only a few items while the other type is a large fire that destroys numerous important materials such as drywall in a building. Not only is a fire destructive due to hot flames, but there are additional problems from poisonous smoke and greasy soot that make it difficult to restore a property.

The Role of Fire Restoration Technicians
Professional SERVPRO fire restoration technicians are trained to restore a property as quickly as possible to prevent additional damage from soot and smoke. One of the first things that require repair are roofs and walls to prevent exposure to rain, snow and cold air. These repairs permit workers to enter a building to complete essential improvements to other damaged materials. At the same time, technicians begin the process of removing water from sprinklers and hoses to prevent moisture damage.

Improving Air Circulation
After a Morris County Fire occurs, buildings often become humid from the water used to douse flames. Unfortunately, power in the building is frequently turned off, leading to poor air circulation. Lack of air circulation causes secondary problems from smoke odor and humidity. SERVPRO of East Central Morris County  technicians install fan systems to circulate air and reduce humidity levels. With an improvement in air quality and removal of moisture, it is possible to restore power to a building to complete other restorations.

Cleaning and Sanitizing Surfaces Affected by Fire
After major repairs are completed, trained technicians begin cleaning and sanitizing surfaces damaged by smoke and soot. Removing filthy soot is a specialized process to avoid contaminating other items. Industrial-strength equipment scrubs surface while vacuuming debris that is containerized for disposal. Technicians use sump pumps and extraction machines to remove moisture from water-soaked areas.

How to Hire Fire Damage Remediation Experts
After a Morris County Fire, a professional fire remediation company is required immediately to begin a cleanup. This means hiring technicians available round-the-clock who arrive with the equipment and tools to begin removing burnt materials, smoke, and soot. Technicians must know how to turn off power in a building and make sure that water is not leaking from pipes before assessing damages. Some fire restoration companies offer a full line of services such as remodeling while others may only perform cleanup tasks.
