SERVPRO Says Protect Your White River Junction Home from Fire Damage with Installed Smoke Detectors

Fire Damage Restoration Can Make Your White River Junction Home Feel Like Home Again

Families that have experienced fire damage incidents know the kind of loss that such disasters bring along. Whenever your home experiences a fire, you have to remain calm and make the right decision to prevent additional damage and salvage what might end up being unrestorable. The White River Junction area is not an exception to house fires and residents need to learn the role that restorers play during such incidents. Additionally, we are advised to take advantage of the available information during this National Preparedness Month to always stay ready to face such events.

Assessment and cleanup are among the first things that our SERVPRO team performs when attending to any home fire in White River Junction. If for instance the fire starts from your garage and spreads to other parts of the building, some sections of the structure might be a complete loss, and other rooms of the home might be restorable. The assessment allows us to determine what is restorable and what is necessary to replace. It is our work to haul away the charred and the smoke damaged ceilings, floor, and walls. We can then also focus on odor control.
 
Let us cover some of the cleaning methods that our SERVPRO technicians use when restoring your home. We use dry cleaning techniques when removing non-grease particles and soils from surfaces. During this technique, we use dusting cloths or feather dusters to brush or wipe surfaces and remove surface dust. Vacuuming is an example of a dry cleaning technique that we employ to remove particulate soiling and light debris.
 
Usually, we perform dry cleaning before we can start performing wet cleaning procedures. When using the previous technique, we use a cleaning agent or water to saturate the surface or item that we are cleaning. If the content or surface is likely to degrade by being overly saturated when we use spray and wipe - a wet cleaning method that controls the cleaning agent that we are applying to a surface.

SERVPRO highly recommends to have smoke detectors strategically placed within your home as an early warning for house fires. When extensive structural damage needs signifcant remolition and removal, we can pack-out personal items and furnishings for off-site cleaning and storage. We can tag using barcodes to document the movement of all removed items. We do whatever is necessary to make you feel "Like it never even happened."
