Fire and Smoke Damaged Norwich Commercial Properties Benefit from SERVPRO Services 

The interior of a car parked by several other vehicles in a Norwich auto repair shop suddenly caught fire. It burned several other vehicles and deposited soot and smoke in the interior. Fortunately, none of the petroleum products ignited during this episode, thereby preventing damage to the structure and expensive tools and equipment. The fire department had arrived at the scene to inspect the fire damage, and then the shop manager called SERVPRO to clean up the burned contents and remove the pungent smoke odor.

The dangers of a fire do not just end once the flames are out. Professional fire restoration in your Norwich premises necessitates deep-cleaning techniques to return your shop to its preloss condition. Remember, you have to deal with the smoke and soot on the walls, ceilings, floors, and items in your store. SERVPRO can provide man-lifts to wipe down all soot residues. Precautions are also necessary.

Cleaning Takes Various Procedures

• Multiple ways of agitating surfaces
• Regular and special cleaning products
• Immersion

Cleaning up and Removing Smoke Residue

SERVPRO technicians adapt unique cleaning concepts to each situation to successfully clean the property because smoke residue and odor affect surfaces and materials differently. The cleaning process should break the bond between soils and surfaces.

How To Loosen Smoke Residue From Surfaces

• Lubrication
• Mechanical action
• Chemical action
• Suspension and dispersion            

Due to some materials being more porous than others, the soot can penetrate below the surfaces. To clean soot off, we first use a strong vacuum with a HEPA filter to remove loose particles and avoid redistributing them into the air. This leaves us with only small amounts of stain and soot to clean with detergents. We also apply cleaning products that can chemically alter some residues, and we can easily remove soils on the affected materials or surfaces.
