Can Inspections Make Restoration More Efficient in Wilmington Homes?

By looking at the condition of a damaged home or business early in the restoration process, our experienced SERVPRO professionals can judge the necessary restoration practices. Inspections and damage assessments evaluate safety and health hazards present as well to prioritize mitigation work. 

How Do Smoke and Soot Get Removed from Wilmington Houses?

Smoke and soot residues are formidable obstacles to restoration. Depending on the type of materials combusted, soils and deposits will change throughout the property. We have many wet and dry-cleaning solutions to eliminate residues adhered to surfaces and contents. 

Can Odors Get Removed from Wilmington Properties After a Fire? 

Among the more challenging aspects of smoke, remediation is removing harsh odors from the property. Combustion of varying materials can leave several types of noxious smells behind. We have multiple counteractant products to reduce the severity and allow our hydroxyl machines and ozone generators to complete the deodorization.

Our Fire Restoration Process

Every fire damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” fire damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

The fire restoration process begins when you call us. Our consultant will guide you through the crisis and may ask several questions to help us better understand the type of fire damage you experienced, determining the equipment and resources needed.

We determine the scope of the fire and smoke damage by examining the affected areas and by testing the adjoining rooms for smoke and soot damage. An accurate assessment is crucial to the planning process. 

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed)

Fire damage can often compromise windows, walls, and roofs. To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present)

If needed, we can begin the water removal process with powerful pumps and extraction units. This removes most of the water. We complete the water removal and drying process with industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers. 

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces

Your property’s ceiling, walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely have smoke and soot residue. We’ll use specialized cleaning products, equipment, and techniques to properly clean your home or business. 

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing
