Medford Fire Damage Restoration Methods that Save
Often, secondary damage resulting from poor remediation techniques causes Medford business owners as much or more trouble than their initial fire-related issues. Improperly cleaned surfaces can be permanently harmed, requiring costly replacement, and previously unaffected materials could be contaminated. Fortunately, services like SERVPRO know how to avoid these pitfalls.
Unlike some other Medford fire damage restoration firms, SERVPRO has well-developed procedures for safely and effectively removing residues from your business and ensuring that they do not harm unaffected surfaces. After our fire restoration experts complete their smoke remediation efforts, they quickly get to work on addressing the fire and smoke damage left behind. Some of the fire damage restoration procedures SERVPRO technicians carefully perform are:
- Identifying surface types and the kinds of soil involved, pre-testing impacted materials for cleanability, determining which areas need to be repainted, and then employing the best cleaning method for each surface
- Removing or pre-treating non-greasy, light-to-medium residues with dry cleaning sponges; cleaning soot, heavy dry ash, or light-to-heavy oily deposits off metal, wood, or painted surfaces; and employing the peroxide active cleaning method on delicate structural materials that have heavy nicotine and tar residues
- Avoiding contamination of other surfaces and streaking by – working from the ceiling down to the floor when dry cleaning rooms and cleaning walls from bottom to top first, before starting on ceilings, when using the wet method
- Using steel wool pads to scrub heavily soiled walls and ceilings that are to be repainted
While following these steps, our workers use all of the most advanced tools of the fire remediation trade to ensure that your job is done as quickly and effectively as possible.
