Restoration of Fire Damage in Carol Stream Hastened by the Skills of Our SERVPRO Team

Fire damage leads to widespread destruction in the affected property. It can take many weeks to restore the property to its preloss state or at least make it habitable. Choosing a professional restoration team can help speed up the process in many ways, including taking some simple but effective actions in the early stages of the restoration process.

Separation of Items

Unless the structure is entirely consumed in the fire damage incident in Carol Stream, damage to items is unlikely to be uniform. Identifying wholly and partially damaged items early enough can help save some time. Our SERVPRO team scopes the loss site noting the level of damage affecting different contents. We separate them into three distinct groups of salvageable, unsalvageable, and questionable items. Unsalvageable items are isolated for immediate disposal, while questionable ones are transported offsite for additional cleaning. Separation also helps during the final stages of returning items to the house after restoration. Since we use an electronic CCIS, Content Claim Inventory Services, it is easier to tell the room or other specific location details for the items we return, saving time.

Advanced Cleaning Products

The time that passes when cleaning soot and other smoke residues from building materials or contents determines the total time taken to finish the process. By using specially formulated cleaning agents, it is possible to reduce the dwell-time required or the level of agitation needed to remove soils. Some of the unique qualities in the products our SERVPRO technicians use include pH buffering, which prevents changes in the pH levels of the cleaning agents, thus maintaining effectiveness. We also use products that work well at different pH levels, so they remain active even when the cleaning solution is soiled.

A Wide Variety of Equipment

Most of the processes needed for successful restoration of fire damage require some equipment. Our SERVPRO crews have access to a wide array of equipment, including hand trucks for moving items, automated surface scrubbers, pressure washers, and specialized agitation equipment such as soda blasters.
