SERVPRO Offers Wet Smoke Cleanup Services To Marlborough Residents
Fire damage restoration services can help us clean and remove the contaminants that might make our home unsafe for occupancy. Also, they can offer us some emotional healing after losing personal belongings that meant a lot to us. Fire damage incidents produce different types of smoke since the combustion process happens under varying conditions and burns different types of items.
Wet smoke may be produced when fire damage occurs on your Marlborough property. It comes from low-heat and slow-burning materials such as plastics and rubber. The smoke is characterized by pungent, black, and thick fumes that leave behind sticky residues on the floor, ceiling, wall, or any surface it lands on.
Our SERVPRO technicians use specific equipment and techniques when cleaning wet smoke from different are:
- Pressure washing: If the sticky residues land on the exterior surface of patios, decks, and siding, we can use this technique to remove them. We use a pressure washer and an appropriate detergent to clean the heavy soot buildup.
- Detergent cleaning: The technique is appropriate when cleaning sticky residues from ceilings, walls, and other areas. The cleaning solutions used in the process can break down the sticky residues for easy removal.
- Cleaning with mild detergent: A soft sponge or cloth is used to apply the detergent. The method suits delicate areas such as painted surfaces, varnished wood, and other areas which can suffer additional damage when stronger detergents are used.
- Abrasive cleaning: Steel wool, wire brushes, and other abrasive materials are used to do the cleaning. Our SERVPRO technicians use this technique to clean surfaces with the ability to withstand abrasive cleaning.
The next step is to remove the smoke odor to neutralize the unpleasant smells. For instance, we can direct the deodorizing solutions into hard-to-reach areas through thermal fogging and ozone treatment. We always wear appropriate safety gear during the fire damage cleanup process.
