SERVPRO Manages Fire Damage Cleanup in Somerset Based On the Specifics of Each Incident

You need to take various actions in the aftermath of a fire incident. Cleaning up soiled surfaces and materials is one of the essential steps for recovery. The level of intricacy varies depending on the specifics of the incident. SERVPRO helps ease the burden of cleanup for Somerset business owners by providing expertise and advanced equipment to tackle the job.

Which typical factors determine the difficulty of fire damage cleanup exercises in Somerset hotels?
    •    The type of fire involved
    •    The intensity of the fire
    •    The period it burns

The damage caused by fires is not uniform since many factors influence the outcome. The fires in Somerset also differ depending on the materials they burn or the type of accelerant fueling the flames. The common types of fires include those involving:
    •    Ordinary combustibles
    •    Flammable liquid and gas
    •    Electrical
    •    Metal
    •    Cooking oils and fats

How does the intensity of fire affect the cleaning process?
A smoldering fire might not consume many materials in a house. However, such fires tend to produce thick or wet smoke residues, soiling materials heavily. Removing such residues requires significant agitation and the use of potent cleaning agents.

Intense fires tend to consume most of the materials while the residues left tend to involve ash and dry soot residues and thus easier to remove. However, timely firefighting efforts can lead to different outcomes. For instance, when the dry soot mixes with water, it can soil beddings and upholstery items heavily. Our SERVPRO technicians use cleaning agents made uniquely for cleaning fire residues to avoid setting the soils. We also have state of the art immersion cleaning equipment such as ultrasonic cleaners.
