Fire Restoration Tactics in Seal Beach

SERVPRO Can Help with Fire Restoration in Seal Beach
Anytime a fire breaks out on your property, several types of damage could occur. Once the flames ignite, they can start to consume your contents and building materials while they spread. The smoke from the blaze can also cause several issues, including covering surfaces of your building materials with soot residues. Smoke can also penetrate porous materials and cause unpleasant aromas to linger.
Whenever our SERVPRO team works on fire restoration in Seal Beach, we know that mitigating issues caused by smoke can become a big portion of the project. Even if the blaze was minor, the smoke it put out can travel throughout your structure and cause issues far from where the fire started. To find all of the places the smoke went, we can conduct a thorough inspection of your property. During the inspection, we can look for any safety hazards and mitigate them to ensure the work area is safe for all occupants.
We can then inspect your property to find all your contents and building materials that were negatively affected. If we find surfaces that contain soot residues, we can conduct a wipe test during the initial inspection. The wipe test will help us determine what type of soot residues exist and find the best methods and chemicals to remove them.
Services we can offer after you have a structure fire:
- Removing burnt debris and building materials
- Cleaning soot residues from your walls and ceilings
- Restorative carpet cleaning
- Structural deodorization
If foul aromas still exist in your building after cleaning all affected surfaces and removing all burnt debris, we can take further steps to deodorize your structure. Sometimes, we can use an ultra-low volume (ULV) or thermal fogger, which breaks down deodorants into microscopic particles that mimic the smoke's behavior and penetrate affected materials. In other cases, we can utilize an ozone generator that dispenses unstable O3 particles that can neutralize unpleasant fragrances.
