Cleaning Up Soot After a Fire in a Hockessin Office Building

10/22/2021 (Permalink)

Commercial fire damage restoration is no easy task. SERVPRO uses the latest technology and equipment for every disaster.

Smoke remediation in Hockessin properties involves several trusted methods of soot cleanup and removal. 

Smoke and fire damage is threatening situations for area businesses and can be so bad that some offices never reopen. We understand the urgency and importance of thorough cleaning and restoration, and we are available when disaster strikes to get mitigation started. 

Fire Debris Removal and Inspection

No fire damage restoration in Hockessin offices or commercial structures can occur without effectively overcoming pressing concerns like fire debris. Heaps of charred remnants amplify odors and soot damage, so we provide a thorough inspection to earmark where cleaning and restoration are needed most, as well as:

• Structural damage
• Soot concentrations
• Odor concerns
• Airborne hazards

Surface Cleaning for Building Materials

Surface cleaning of specific building materials and structural elements is a vital process, as this is where much of the soot and smoke deposits are present. High heat fires force soot against vertical surfaces, which must be cleaned using a combination of dry cleaning strategies with chem sponges and wet cleaning options using alkaline cleaners and solvents. 

Content and Furniture Cleaning 

As fire damage spreads through the structure, more and more of the contents, furniture, and electronics can become impacted by these migrating conditions. Soot under pressure can force its way into cracks and crevices, making focused cleaning and restoration vital for the things that matter most in the building. We can even provide off-site cleaning for concentrated attention. 

Fire damages are among the most threatening emergencies that any business or office space can endure. One of the chief concerns for fire and smoke damage removal is addressing soot deposits throughout the facility. Our SERVPRO of Hockessin / Elsmere team can provide efficient surface cleaning and aggressive restoration tactics to make fire losses "Like it never even happened." Call today at (302) 992-0104.
