Basement fire damage can prove challenging compared to other types of disasters, particularly in unfinished basements. Unsealed wood and concrete are porous and absorb soot that leaves behind unsightly stains that require heavy-duty cleanup. Certified professionals can render this service and more to return a fire-damaged Pottsville home to a pre-disaster condition.

Pottsville SERVPRO fire damage restoration technicians can respond to home cleanup needs with EPA-registered antimicrobials and sophisticated technologies. Highly trained techs undergo education modules covering multiple restoration topics, including fire damage and carpet and upholstery cleaning.

Restoring Basement Concrete Floors After a Home Structure Fire

While fire damage residues tend to end up on walls and ceilings, many residues fall to the floor. SERVPRO fire cleanup techs take the following into account during basement concrete floor restoration:

• The quality of the concrete used is crucial to determining restoration strategies. A well-mixed concrete with few to no cracks or chips is easier to remediate than a heavily damaged floor with signs of damage before the fire
• Unsealed concrete, especially when improperly installed, can be prone to stains, discoloration, and damage from drastic temperature changes. Cleaning residues off of the surface may entail thorough brushing or vacuuming with a HEPA-filter vacuum
• If firefighters used water for fire suppression, then the floor may show signs of chalky efflorescence, which is a collection of salts from moisture collecting on hard, porous building materials like stone, brick, or concrete
• Sealed concrete is often salvageable without resealing via wet cleaning with EPA-registered detergent solutions
