Fire damage? SERVPRO is prepared with restoration equipment and experienced technicians.

Our Marlborough Fire Restoration Crews Can Do It 

Cleaning up after a commercial fire in Marlborough can be a tricky business. It involves not only removing the residues fouling interior surfaces and neutralizing odorous smoke particles but also ensuring that fire-related issues are not spread to previously unaffected areas. Fortunately, SERVPRO can help with the latter by thoroughly cleaning your HVAC system.

SERVPRO’s fire restoration technicians in Marlborough are experts in inspecting, cleaning, and sealing fire-impacted HVAC ductwork. They have successfully restored the ventilation systems of countless local businesses, effectively mitigating their overall fire and smoke damage and facilitating the progress of smoke remediation and fire restoration efforts. However, before SERVPRO gets to work on these fire damage restoration tasks, workers determine:

• How long the fire continued, how close it was to the furnace unit or HVAC vents if the system’s blower was on during the fire, and whether or not the ventilation network was affected by smoke
• What type of smoke residues, if any, are present in the HVAC system, their severity, and how odorous they are
• If the ventilation network’s filters are clean or need replacing and if the HVAC system needs to be disassembled for effective cleaning
• What ducts are made of and how to most efficiently clean them
• Whether or not mechanical components have been damaged and need to be repaired or replaced

After our skilled technicians have completed their inspection and know what needs to be done, they:

• Clean air intakes and vent registers, restore or dispose of dirty filters, and vacuum up dust and smoke particles on ductwork surfaces.
• Wash all interior HVAC surfaces with a general-purpose detergent and clean mechanical components
• Seal and deodorize ventilation ductwork with a ULV fogger
• Place smell-neutralizing beads in the system
