SERVPRO’s Certified Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Efforts Ensure Your Property Gets Back to Normal Fast in Smithtown!

One wrong move during your house fire clean up, and you could have damage to your contents and building materials that would have otherwise been avoided. All too often, residents attempt DIY methods as a way to save money. However, SERVPRO wants Smithtown residents to know that our fire and smoke restoration technicians (FSRT) have years of training on the best methods for getting your home back to pre-fire condition. All you have to do is contact us at any time of the day, and we will mobilize a crew to arrive at your door within hours to address your fire emergency.

It is best to remember that the faster you approach the fire and smoke damage in Smithtown, the more chance you have of salvaging belongings and materials throughout the impact zone. Soot and smoke residue have acidic properties, so the longer it sits, the more corrosion and secondary damage sets in. When mixed with moisture throughout the air from water used to extinguish the blaze, it becomes the perfect storm for damp, smeared residue, pitting, discoloration, and beyond.

SERVPRO features technicians who understand smoke residue characteristics so we can select the proper process for each situation. Some of the remedial actions we take to help get the fire, and smoke clean up started to include:

• Vacuuming, scraping or blotting surface soiling
• Testing various materials for colorfastness and sensitivity to water or cleaning products
• Evaluating the pH of any impacted areas
• Monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ) throughout the project

Of course, our Green Fleet comes packed with a broad range of equipment and products to use for your fire restoration project. This includes:

• Wet and dry cleaning solvents
• Furniture polish
• Thermal fogging technology
• Upholstery and carpet cleaners
• Wood treatments, and more
