Prompt Fire Damage Restoration in Hockessin Can Prevent Extensive Devastation

Seeing a fire threaten your home is a traumatic experience. After the devastating loss, you need support and guidance to prevent extensive damage. SERVPRO is an experienced company that can help you repair and rebuild your home so that your life can get back to normal. Our team uses advanced techniques and tools that enable us to work quickly without compromising quality. 

A fire can result in extensive destruction due to the smoke and the process of using water to extinguish the fire. Before beginning fire damage restoration in your Hockessin home, our SERVPRO technicians can assess the entire building to see if there is destruction to your belongings, floors, and walls. We can also look out for smoke and ash, which can continue causing corrosion and material destruction. Soot and smoke remain on surfaces long after a fire, and they continue causing issues when removed. SERVPRO’s proven fire damage repair process includes:

• Separating salvageable and unsalvageable contents.
• Removing charred contents that might seal in smoke, such as burned wood and insulation.
• Evaluating floor covering and carpets which might need to be removed.
• Treating affected surfaces for smoke smells.
• Evaluating contents in the structure for loss of value, loss of use, and decreased life expectancy. 

If smoke penetrates or coats surfaces, it affects the chemical composition of metals, fabrics, tiles, walls, and ceilings. Smoke residues often contain solid particles that consist mostly of carbon. We can use vacuums to remove dry particles, which are loosely attached to surfaces. The moisture that contacts the particles can cause them to be absorbed to the surface and be difficult to remove. Our SERVPRO team usually tries to vacuum dry smoke residues from a surface before applying wet cleaning products.

If a surface has soils and residues, which are not loose particles, we dissolve them before removing them. When we dissolve the residues and loosen their bonds with the surface, it is easy to suspend them in cleaning products and flush them away as the cleaning products are extracted or rinsed away from the surface.
