DIY Fire Damage Restoration in Carol Stream is Never Enough

Whenever you suffer loss from a fire, it is best to look to professionals to help with the cleanup and restoration process. However, some homeowners feel as though they can take on the challenge of tackling the cleanup to save time and money. The unfortunate truth is that DIY fire restoration is never enough.

For help with fire damage in Carol Stream, calling the experts helps you get fast, professional results. Trying to handle the cleanup on your own could open up a world of issues, including dangerous structural problems, lingering odors, and dangerous mold growth. The following are just some of the reasons why it is better to call trained technicians at SERVPRO to handle your fire loss restoration:

Lingering Odors
Soot particles range in size, with many being invisible to the naked eye. After these particles are airborne and make their way into your ductwork, they travel throughout your home. What this leaves behind is a lingering foul odor and a sad reminder of the damage that the fire caused. When you call SERVPRO for restoration assistance, we formulate a multilayered approach to put an end to smoke odors. We employ thermal foggers as well as air scrubbers to eradicate odors, or we can work on cleaning the ductwork if any residual odors are still present.

Stopping Mold Before It Starts
The interior of your home is doused with water to extinguish the fire. Because of this, measures must be taken to eliminate moisture so that mold and mildew do not have the chance to grow. We ensure moisture detection and removal are part of the cleanup process using specialized equipment. This ensures that no water is left under flooring or behind walls. As part of our drying techniques, we also apply antimicrobials that work to inhibit mold growth.

Surface Cleaning
Even if your walls look clean, they can still harbor terrible smells. SERVPRO works to clean your walls using solvents and may apply a sealant that is then primed and painted to ensure your walls are restored to like-new quality and free of foul odors.
