Restore Your Marco Island Home After Fire Damage Quickly By Hiring Professionals

When a home catches fire, the flames cause destruction that is harsh and easy to spot. The high temperatures and flames from a fire can ruin building materials and other items. If the fire is not dealt with quickly, the flames can spread throughout the house and cause much damage, jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home. Once the fire has been extinguished, you can feel relief, but the damage from flames is just a small fraction of the destruction that fire causes.

It is easy to overlook smoke damage. The smoke associated with fire damage in your North Fort Myers home can continue causing damage even after the fire has been extinguished. It can leave walls and ceilings discolored.

Cleaning smoke damage is challenging, and it can get worse if you do not go about the process correctly. Therefore, it's advisable to hire a fire restoration firm like SERVPRO to help you restore your home. We can perform a cleaning to combat odors and smoke damage effectively and adequately. Fire damages present different cleaning and restoration challenges. A burning house is many complicated reactions between various elements, including:

    •    The amount of oxygen, heat and moisture present
    •    The kind of material burning
    •    Airflow patterns in the house
    •    Kind of smoke residues present
    •    The of surfaces that heat and smoke impacts

One of the factors that our technicians consider to determine the difficulty of removing smoke residues is the type of surface fire has affected. Porous surfaces are more daunting to clean because they allow particles and odor to penetrate further. Non-porous surfaces like glossy, enamel paint, and wall coverings are easier to clean than paper wall coverings or latex paint. We also consider the age of the surface since older surfaces are harder to clean.

We have the right equipment and products for cleaning walls, ceilings, carpeting, woodwork, and floors. We pretest the surfaces and then use the appropriate cleaning products and equipment to clean and protect the different surfaces found in a home. Our SERVPRO technicians can also clean and deodorize restorable contents such as draperies, area rugs, furniture, and upholstery. Smoke from every fire is unique and may require a different approach to eliminate. Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Technicians (FSRT) often employ strategies like bleaching, emulsifying, and changing pH to remove residues.

After the aftermath of fire damage in your home, you require prompt, professional help. SERVPRO of Naples / Marco Island can help you get rid of the smoke, soot, and odor to make it “Like it never even happened.” Call us at (239) 302-5700 for quick remediation.
