Smithtown Fire Damage Gets Professional Attention from SERVPRO

When a fire occurs within a property, it can leave a host of issues that make the cleanup a challenge, including:

• Charred building materials that need removal
• Smoke residues on surfaces
• Water damage 
• Inspection to determine if the heat ruined walls, ceilings, or furnishings

Smoke residues are a big issue facing SERVPRO technicians when they tackle Smithtown fire damage cleanup and restorations. The type of residue dictates the cleaning method needed as well as the surface it is on.

Dry particles are loose and move with ease. SERVPRO techs use hand vacuuming and manual applications such as dry cleaning sponges to remove this type of smoke damage from surfaces. Applying cleaning solutions can force that particulate deeper into absorbent articles and, in some cases, make the problem worse. 

Wet, heavier residues usually need the help of a solvent-based cleaning agent to dissolve the grip on the surface before a clean removal can happen as the solvent suspends the residue so it can then get wiped away.
