Learn What You Should Salvage in your Fire-Damaged Bridgewater Property
Dealing with life after a fire damage experience is not always easy. However, it should not mean what you took so long to build cannot be restored to its earlier state. No matter how scary the experience is, you can still find items that you can salvage and save on the high cost of replacing everything. When not sure about what to do next, you can seek professional help in Bridgewater.
Most people in Bridgewater assume that fire damage occurs when the fire burns items it comes across. They think that the smoke and soot which the incident leaves behind is less dangerous - which is a big mistake. Smoke particles can get attached to the carpets, walls, furniture, and ceilings. If the cleaning is not up to standards, they can stay in position for a very long time, leading to possible odors and health effects. Our SERVPRO technicians use specialized equipment to remove the soot particles, something which can be a big challenge if you decide to do it by yourself.
If you are a DIY enthusiast and you insist on removing the smoke particles yourself, our SERVPRO experts advise you to use a vacuum cleaner. When using the tool, make sure the nozzle is held slightly above the area with the soot. Always avoid using a vacuum cleaner that has brush attachments since the brushes may force the soot particles in the item and cause more damage. When dealing with dry soot, it is more appropriate to use HEPA vacuums.
Odor removal is a crucial process during fire damage restoration. Masking the odors with a fragrance may provide a short-term solution to the problem, though, we highly discourage that. Our SERVPRO Odor Control Technicians (OCT) perform appropriate odor managements processes to remove the annoying smells. We can start by identifying and eliminating the odor-causing particles from the building. To address the odor problem in inaccessible areas, we can perform thermal fogging. It is a process in which heated mist is injected into hard to access locations to neutralize the odors.
