Standard Work Controls Post-Fire Recovery Costs

Projects and other activities with directions are easy to follow, and fire damage restoration work is no exception. After a fire in your Middleton property, call SERVPRO® for restoration services that adhere to the IICRC's high standards.

SERVPRO provides fire damage restoration services to Middleton homeowners, ensuring their home's post-fire condition is short-lived. Our goal is to produce surprising and cost-effective results, leaving your property "Like it never even happened."  Because fire acts similarly within modern homes, standardized procedures from the IICRC ensure we use proven methods.

Here are some of the restoration methods for fire damage outlined by the IICRC:

• Soot removal techniques
• Water removal's importance

We use wet and dry removal methods, according to IICRC recommendations. We would use a wet process with a degreaser for oily soot on smooth surfaces. When we need to eliminate dry soot, we lean toward using a brush and vacuum - excellent for almost all surfaces. Sticky soot on upholstery requires a different approach. We remove as much of the soot as possible using a dry method. Then, we use sponges to absorb soot, drawing it away from the fibers. Afterward, we use a wet process that dissolves the remaining soot, making it easier to wash it away.

Many homes also experience water damage because of the water used to fight fires. SERVPRO can help protect your home from this while performing fire damage restoration. We use extraction equipment of many kinds to prevent dry rot, high humidity, and mold infestations. Avoiding such issues is less expensive than resolving them later.
