Why SERVPRO Offers Better Cleanup of Fire Damage Sites in Mount Kisco

When there is a fire incident in your Mount Kisco home, you have to address several issues before you can regain the comfort you enjoyed before the loss. One crucial task is cleaning the soiling, residues, and charring left on building materials and contents in your home.

Multiple Cleaning Approaches
Soiling from fire damage incidents in Mount Kisco homes takes many forms. Therefore, any cleaning exercise can only be successful with a multipronged approach. Our SERVPRO crews use different techniques, including absorption through osmotic, capillary, or chemical action, especially when cleaning fabrics. Some examples include using stain-absorbing powder. Other techniques include adsorption, agglomeration, bleaching, and dispersion to remove soling, “Like it never even happened.”

Pretesting materials such as upholstery and carpets
Some of the qualities that make cleaning procedures useful can have negative impacts on the materials. The most likely forms are discoloration or other forms of physical deterioration. Choosing the right cleaning product or procedure is, therefore, crucial. Our SERVPRO technicians pretest different materials before subjecting them to rigorous cleaning procedures. Pretesting can establish whether rugs, carpets, draperies, or other fabrics covered in soot are sensitive to wet cleaning, agitation, dry cleaning, shrinkage, or color bleeding, allowing us to choose the right cleaning procedure to prevent secondary damages.

Advanced Residue Removal
Apart from smoke, heat, and flame action during a fire also have effects that might necessitate cleaning, especially in areas of mild fire intensity. It is possible to save charred wooden frames and other structural supports by cleaning. While mechanical agitation and abrasive cleaning can help, our SERVPRO technicians also use advanced residue removal procedures, which offer better results. For example, soda blasting removes residue from charred surfaces efficiently and without causing additional damages. The sodium bicarbonate pellets we use also have deodorizing properties, therefore, eliminating bad odor from the areas we clean.

A thorough cleanup of your Yorktown Heights, Bedford, or Armonk property is crucial to restoring the preloss state. Call SERVPRO of Northern Westchester County at (914) 241-8100 to help. We are available 24/7.
