SERVPRO can determine the type of smoke and clean your home. We will make it "Like it never even happened."

How we Tailor our Fire Damage Restoration to your Santa Rosa Beach Property

One of the biggest hurdles in overcoming a fire is to get your property back to preloss conditions without wholesale replacement of possessions and fittings. To work with a restore over replace mentality, we need to be well-versed in the theory of fire, how damages spread, and the best methods of cleaning away soot or smoke residues.

Moisture, heat, Oxygen, and gas interact in many different ways. Our technicians are trained in a variety of cleaning methods and are available to restore fire damage in Santa Rosa Beach. At SERVPRO, we believe that every property situation is different, which is why we conduct a thorough pre-test of your home before any work begins. During this time, your technician can trace the journey of smoke throughout the home as well as assess what type of smoke residues are left behind.

Different types of smoke deposits such as wet smoke, dry smoke, protein, or fuel have a strong influence on our procedure. However, we do not solely test the type of smoke, but also the type of surface. Some materials may shrink under heat or wet cleaning; others may be more robust and capable of sustaining corrosive chemical agents. Soot bonds with the surfaces they come into contact with, our job is to apply the right cleaning method to release deposits and get surfaces back to preloss conditions.

Depending on the variables of surface and smoke content, we use a combined temperature, agitation, chemical agents, and dwell time. Wet smokes are particularly stubborn and may require soaking in a cleaning solution before effectively removed. Robust surfaces like light fittings can benefit from soda blasting or corrosive chemical agents to help loosen and clear away damages.

Understanding the different elements of smoke and fire can help SERVPRO to apply methods that are both efficient and effective. We invest significant amounts into our technicians so they can apply their knowledge to each situation individually. As a locally owned and operated company SERVPRO provide a personal, tailored solution to your property making damages "Like it never even happened."
