Specialty Fire Damage Cleaning In Chicago
Every fire damage situation we handle is unique. Even though the science behind cleaning and restoring property that has been damaged is relatively finite, it must be applied individually to each site we remediate. A procedure that worked well at one location may not be as effective at another. That's why our technicians pursue continued education in restorative sciences so they can stay on top of the latest developments and trends.
SERVPRO technicians know that the quicker homeowners call them, the faster they can begin to turn around fire damage in Chicago homes. Expediting cleanup lessens the potential for secondary damage from standing water from extinguishing the fire, odor problems, and mold growth.
Drying areas drenched in the fire fighting efforts is a double issue for SERVPRO technicians. First, the longer water stands, the more contaminated it becomes along with the potential for structural damage. Second, odor-causing particles from the fire smaller than the naked human eye can see, and they can spread throughout the home and create pungent problems in currently unaffected rooms. Our IICRC-certified technicians know that containment is crucial and set up barriers to limit the spread of soot particles before positioning air movers and humidifiers. After drying, our technicians often employ negative air fans which move contaminants from a contained space through ducts to an outside area creating a vacuum (negative air) effect.
HEPA-vacuums remove dangerous particles from surfaces prior to hand cleaning to remove all traces of smoke and residue from surfaces. Carpeting, furnishings, drywall and other porous materials are not automatically a loss due to a fire because they absorbed the foul odor and are smoke damaged. SERVPRO has Odor Control Technicians who specialize in removing fire odors mitigating loss to homeowners.
