Dealing With Water and Commercial Fire Restoration in Norwich

SERVPRO Provides Fire Remediation for Norwich Businesses
Everyone knows that water can be the best resource for the fire department when attempting to extinguish a structural blaze. Several commercial buildings get equipped with sprinkler systems designed to spray water based on heat sensors. The problem is that once a fire breaks out inside your restaurant, the water added to extinguish the flames can create further issues besides what the fire caused.
When dealing with commercial fire restoration in Norwich, our SERVPRO technicians know to look for water damage issues and problems related to the structural burn. Moisture added to burnt materials can elevate the damage initially caused. For example, water can soak the soot deeper into porous materials like your carpet or upholstered furniture. Items that could have just been ruined on the surface by smoke damage can get quickly destroyed if the soot seeps into the fabric.
However, whenever we realize your restaurant has experienced water and smoke damage, we can devise a plan to restore both issues. And, we can schedule our work procedures to avoid interrupting your restaurant’s daily operations. For instance, we can set up fans and dehumidifiers to conduct applied structural drying (ASD) and work on smoke remediation when your business is closed.
When items get burnt and wet, the moisture can cause the soot residues to soak deeper into the material, making it harder to remove. Sometimes, we can use chemical products to clean your affected items. But in other cases, some things may have to get thrown out.
