SERVPRO Provides the Best Solutions for Fire and Smoke Restoration at Queens Premises

Any fire and smoke damage to your Queens commercial premise can be disheartening. You can see the effects of smoke damage on ceilings, floors, and walls through the carbon particles and residual chemicals deposited on those surfaces. But what you may not see are traces of these residues that infiltrate porous structural materials. To protect your premises and possessions, you need to clean up as quickly as possible.  

The advantage of involving professionals in fire and smoke restoration at a Queen's premises is their understanding of the characteristics of smoke, the different types of soot residues, and how it affects other surfaces and materials. We can effectively clean soot from your premise because we have a deeper understanding of how fire burns on different materials and the kind of soot emitted. Determining the type of soot enables us to use the proper techniques and products to clean up the area.

Factors That can Determine the Appropriate Cleaning Method

• The type of surface
• The type of soils
• Whether a surface requires wet or dry cleaning

We may start by cleaning all the visible parts like the walls and floors during restoration because smoke residues in such places are usually dry and carry few aerosols depositing small and dry particles on surfaces. Such dry particles are loosely attached and require minimal agitation; hence can be removed by vacuuming or using sponges. After that, we can deal with soot in hard-to-reach areas like crevices. We also use chemical agents to clean wet smoke residues that can deeply stain surfaces and be more challenging to clean.

Some Cleaning Products Which We use in Smoke Cleaning

• Dry cleaning solvents
• Volatile dry solvents
• Furniture polishes
