Factors That Determine Restorability from Fire Damage in Newark Homes

A common sight that greets many homeowners upon first viewing the fire damage in their Newark home is a large, wet pile of their possessions in the center of the room. This scenario happens because, during firefighting efforts, the firemen push burning debris to the center of the room and hose it down to stop it from igniting. Progressively more gets added until the danger of fire in the place is over.

When SERVPRO technicians arrive to clean up fire damage in Newark properties, they immediately move our charred items and building materials. They then examine wet items for restorability potential to save the homeowner the cost of replacing possessions.

Inspection Elements
When the techs go through items in fire loss areas, they look for possessions that have restoration potential through their advanced cleaning methods. Porous items often have the least amount of potential salvaging because of the absorption of soot that can get worse through the application of cleaning products.

Cleaning Methods Commonly Used
Fire loss cleanup is never a one-size-fits-all process. The techs carefully test surfaces and items to determine the construction materials. The results assist in choosing the best methods and agents to utilize for smoke damage removal. Pack-outs and cleaning at our facility is an option where Immersion Cleaning - a robust cleaning method for the non-porous items can prove to be effective. Ultrasonic cleaning and the Esporta Washing Systems are advanced equipment.

?    Dry Cleaning - used most often for lifting away dry smoke before wet cleaning solutions get used.
?    Wet Cleaning - a very effective method against wet smoke residues. SERVPRO has exclusive solvents and cleaners to release the hold the smoke damage has on surfaces.
?    Foam Cleaning - a cleaning method used to clean and refresh upholstery and window treatment fabrics that have the potential to shrink or bleed when wet cleaned.
?    Abrasive Cleaning - commonly used to remove residues.

Repair to the Home
Once the techs finish cleaning up the fire loss to the structure and contents, they create a report to assist the homeowner in filing their insurance claim and expedite the reimbursement. This report details not only the actions taken during restoration but also necessary repairs to restore the property entirely. With their general contractor license #1992104829, SERVPRO saves homeowners the stress of finding an outside contracting company for rebuilding needs.
