SERVPRO Can Restore Your Levittown House After Fire Damage
Fire causes damage in not just the consumption of a building structure and its components by the flames; it leaves behind a building covered in smoke and soot and a high probability of water damage from the fire suppression system or the firefighters. All these damages are hard to come out of, so you must contact professional restorers as soon as the firefighters extinguish the fire.
At SERVPRO, we are well equipped to handle fire damage in Levittown homes. We can help you restore your house in the shortest time possible and at reasonable costs. We can group the residues that the smoke leaves behind into four, all with different approaches to their cleaning technique:
- Dry smoke residues – The materials affected by this category of smoke are more restorable, which is why we use less aggressive cleaning measures.
- Wet smoke residues result from slow-burning fires, allowing them to penetrate even the smallest of crevices, and many of the items affected are not restorable.
- Protein smoke residues result from burning meat, poultry, or fish, making removing odors one of SERVPRO’s main tasks in these events.
- Fuel oil soot and smoke residues are usually removable if fresh but might strongly bind with the paint if they have been there for long.
Before removing the smoke residues, it is essential to capture them. Our SERVPRO technicians can use vacuums to capture the dry particles and dissolve those that are not loose in a cleaning product to dispose of them.
Since smoke and soot particles are mildly acidic, letting them stand for some time on your house causes rust to appear on metallic surfaces and items. To clean them off, SERVPRO uses its highly efficient rust remover, Rusticide, which is a solution of oxalic-phosphorous acid with a pH of 2. It can dissolve all the rust stains on linen, silk, cotton, carpeting, wool, or synthetic fibers.
