SERVPRO Can Help with Fire Damage Repairs in Pottsville

Anytime a fire breaks out inside your home, one of the most significant issues created can come about due to smoke released from the blaze. Once smoke contacts cooler surfaces, it can solidify and leave behind soot residues. In difficult situations, soot can cover nearly all surfaces in your structure, and they can even affect items far away from the source.

When conducting fire restoration in Pottsville, our SERVPRO technicians often spend a significant amount of time cleaning soot residues from the surfaces of your building materials and contents. The hard part is that almost every fire puts out various types of smoke, which often leads to more than one kind of soot present. The type of smoke can change depending on the types of fuels burned. For example, woodworking fuels will produce different residues than when meat gets roasted. The type of smoke also depends on whether the fire has a lot of oxygen and was fast burning or if it was oxygen-starved and smoldered.

When cleaning soot residues from your house's building materials and contents, our SERVPRO team can utilize various chemicals and methods for the cleaning process. Our highly trained team is certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) program. We can provide fast 24/7 service and access to the industry's most advanced technology.
