Hiring SERVPRO Gets You the Fire Damage Restoration You Need for Your Englewood Business

Fire impact on your Englewood business can be devastating, and it often leaves an owner not knowing where to begin. SERVPRO is available 24/7 so that we can come out to your building to provide emergency restoration when you need it. Our services make it so that you can get your building back into a preloss condition faster than DIY cleanup methods alone. With the professional techniques and latest advancements in the fire restoration world, we can erase all traces of the fire throughout your property.

What Should I Do Right After the Fire?

Once the fire is extinguished and deemed safe to enter, you should call our team right away. A crew is deployed, and upon arrival, we can start the assessment and plan for restoring your fire damage in Englewood. We have a range of cleaning techniques and restoration equipment available that allows us to salvage as much of your interior as possible. 

Do I Have to Worry About the Air Quality in My Building After a Fire?

There can be a lot of soot and smoke particles left after a fire. You also need to be concerned about remaining moisture from the fire being extinguished, as lingering water brings about the potential for possibly harmful mold and mildew growth. Our skilled technicians select the best equipment and filtration tools to clean and restore the air quality within your building. Not only does this help to ensure the air is breathable, but it reduces the potential threat of tough smoke odors and microbial contamination.

• Air Scrubbers – These machines help to reduce the number of particulates and debris from the environment. They also cut back on the threat from certain microorganisms known for colonizing when conditions are moist. The machines work similarly to our Hydroxyl machinery, pulling in the contaminated air, trapping the airborne debris, and putting out cleaner air.
• Hydroxyl Generators – These generators are dual-acting, meaning that they deodorize the interior of your building while also filtering and purifying the air. This equipment features a HEPA-filtration system where the air goes into the machine, and the filter traps all particles, debris, and microbes. 

How Do You Address Soot Stains?

During a fire, the heat from the fire brings about charring to various surface areas. Standard restoration, replacement, or resurfacing is usually the best option. Because this is often time-consuming and costly, our skilled SERVPRO technicians use various techniques and advanced equipment to address the tough soot and smoke residue. With soda blasting, pressurized air puts out sodium bicarbonate at a high rate of speed to strip away the smoke residue and charring. Since sodium bicarbonate also acts as a deodorizer, it helps to remove odors from damaged materials being treated. 

Smoke and soot particles settle very quickly on ceilings, walls, and other flat surfaces throughout your office after a fire. Trying to clean with DIY methods is time-consuming and often unproductive. Our technicians may use vacuum cleaners and pressure washers to help remove residue faster in your Englewood building. We also have HEPA filters in our industrial strength vacuums that help pull out loosened soot particles without worrying that they get redistributed into the air. 

Can Smoke Odors be Completely Eliminated?

We have perfected the process of removing smoke odors from your interior after a fire. Each step helps break down harsh residue and locate all areas where odorous particles may have lingered. 

• When necessary, we remove belongings and furniture from your building to be deodorized elsewhere. This also helps prevent the transfer of smoke residue to other parts of the building that are unaffected.
• Our technicians carefully clean all surfaces covered in residue, making sure to leave no area untreated. We have an extensive selection of EPA-approved cleaning agents to remove residue from burned materials, including wood, plastic, and building materials such as drywall.
• More pungent odors call for recreation of the situation that caused odor penetration to various surfaces. Deodorant agents are heated with our fogging machinery, generating a chemical agent cloud that helps to penetrate deeply to reach the odors. 
• Exposed surfaces can also be sealed if a fire burned a significant portion of the building and created a great deal of smoke residue. This is done by using a special primer coat on the walls before using a final color and sealing the ductwork throughout the HVAC system.

Working with skilled technicians is the best way to go when it comes to the fallout from fire damage in your business. You can call SERVPRO of Teaneck/Englewood 24/7 at (201) 266-0482, and we can send out a team quickly to make it “Like it never even happened.”
