Metro Flood Services is also a fire and smoke damage cleaning company. Even if your residential or commercial property is salvaged from a fire, it will likely still need expert cleaning and repair. Fire burns and corrodes the structure of your property, and smoke is toxic and dangerous and will settle on all vertical and horizontal surfaces it reaches. The methods used to extinguish a fire can also cause serious damage, especially if firefighters use a large amount of water to put out the fire.
Protocols & Procedures for Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
- Call a professional fire and smoke damage restoration company: We will dispatch a fire and smoke emergency response team will be dispatched to the property.
- Fire & Smoke Damage Inspection: We will inspect all areas for fire and smoke damage, not just those visibly affected. Nearby rooms can often have hidden damages, not visible to the untrained eye or undetectable without specific inspection and moisture detection equipment. From here, our team will assess the situation and develop a fire damage cleaning and restoration strategy.
- Boarding & Securing: Fire and smoke can damage many different building materials. In order to ensure that the building’s structure is not further compromised, and for the safety of any workers on site, our fire and smoke damage cleaning company will board up any affected windows and skylights and secure and lay a tarp on damaged roofs for the duration of the fire and smoke cleanup process.
- Extraction / Water Removal & Structural Drying: As most fires are put out by using a large amount of water, there is more than likely water and elevated moisture still present in the building. We will remove any standing water using portable or truck-mount extraction equipment. We then utilize air scrubbers, dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the structure of the building just as we do in emergency water losses.
- Fire & Smoke Damage Cleaning: Fire and smoke restoration companies will clean smoke, soot and ash from all affected walls, floors and ceilings. Metro Flood Services goes one step further and uses innovative techniques to clean and sanitize building materials and contents.
