How To Professionally Fix Fire-Damaged Fabrics In Your Lilburn Home

The fire damage restoration method we choose when attending to your property is determined by the type of fire your property experiences. Different types of combustion emit different kinds of chemicals, which means the composition of their odors and soot is entirely different. As an example, you cannot expect the smoke particles that results from burning wood to have the same composition as that of burning plastics. We have the experience of choosing the right cleaning method as we work to restore your Lilburn property.

If you spot some soot on your fabrics after your Lilburn home experiences fire damage, do not make a mistake of wiping or rubbing it away. Since smoke is oily, there are chances of grounding it into the fabric and causing permanent stains. We pre-test fabrics to make sure that the damage is not exacerbated during cleanup. Our SERVPRO technicians can also vacuum the affected couches, blankets, and drapes. During vacuuming, we hold the nozzle some considerable distance above the item and avoid upright vacuuming to prevent forcing the soot into the fabric.

After removing the soot from your clothing, we can further restore them by using a washing machine. We also have some techniques to restore the non-washable garments. By looking at the type of smoke particles resting on different surfaces, we can come up with a cleaning method to clean the floors, walls, and ceiling. Once cleaning is complete, we apply disinfectants on the areas to prevent possible mold growth.

Unpleasant odors usually result when materials burn. The smell can move around the structure and penetrate cracks and other inaccessible locations. We never use a fragrance as a final way of addressing the odor problem. They are only useful when we need to make the site pleasant for work. It is a mistake to mask unpleasant smells using perfumed sprays since they mask the odor for a while. The fragrance may also trigger a chemical reaction with the existent smell and lead to an exclusively new odor. In such instances, our SERVPRO technicians perform deodorization. We may perform thermal fogging, a deodorization technique that produces dry fog, which is characterized by small particles that penetrate hard to reach areas to neutralize the odor-causing particles.
