Fire Restoration Happens Fast in Laconia Homes with SERVPRO®
A fire in your home often results in smoke and soot residues that cling stubbornly to walls, ceilings, and belongings. Quick and efficient fire restoration of your Laconia home requires experienced experts like SERVPRO, who have the expertise and tools.
SERVPRO techs use a combination of agitation and chemical action during fire restoration of your Laconia home to break down soot and smoke particles, ensuring a thorough and efficient cleanup.
Removing Soot and Smoke Damage After Fire
The type of smoke and soot residue at your fire-damaged Laconia home depends on the kind of fire and the material involved. SERVPRO techs analyze the residue before choosing the right approach to remove it from the surfaces without causing additional damage.
Some of the most common agitation methods SERVPRO techs use to dislodge stubborn residues include:
- Dry sponging for delicate surfaces
- Brushing and scrubbing for moderate buildup
- Vacuuming to lift loose particles
- Media blasting with baking soda or dry ice cleans deeper layers without damaging surfaces.
SERVPRO techs use media blasting if your home has heavy soot deposits on brick, wood, and metal. This method safely strips away residues while being non-toxic and eco-friendly. Using the right level of agitation, we ensure that even the toughest soot deposits don’t stand a chance.
Chemically Altering Residue During House Fire Cleanup
Some smoke residues are too stubborn for mechanical agitation alone. In such situations, SERVPRO technicians use specialized cleaning agents to modify soot particles chemically. It breaks down their bonds with surfaces and helps to remove them efficiently.
We use alkaline cleaners to neutralize greasy deposits for protein-based soot from kitchen fires. Solvent-based cleaners dissolve the residues more effectively for synthetic materials that produce thick, sticky soot. Each type of smoke damage requires a unique approach, and our team selects the right solution to prevent staining and lingering odors.
IICRC-certified SERVPRO techs ensure fast and effective fire damage restoration, getting Laconia homeowners back to normal as quickly as possible.
