SERVPRO Offers Effective Fire Damage Repair Services in Olean

A fire can devastate your home. Thankfully, if you work with the right restoration service, you can safeguard your home’s property. SERVPRO is a locally owned and operated fire restoration firm with the expertise to return your residence to its preloss state quickly.

We have a great reputation in our area and can perform effective fire damage restoration in your Olean residence. Our skilled crews can tackle the smoke, soot, and water damage to prevent the further spread of destruction. Our SERVPRO Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Technicians (FSRT) perform testing to determine three factors, namely:

• Where the smoke residues are situated.
• If it is possible to clean the residues.
• If the damages or residues were preexisting or occurred because of the recent event.

After a fire, smoke and soot can linger. Soot can adhere to surfaces and discolor them without emergency pre-cleaning. Some materials which are highly susceptible to soot damage include plastics, metals, wood, and grout. Soot particles are small, and they can meander into crevices and remain unseen. Soot residues may contain various acids since sulfides, chlorides, and smoke mix with moisture or humidity in the air to form acids. Acidic residues can cause corrosion or discoloration if they remain on materials over time. When smoke residues adhere to surfaces, our SERVPRO team can use agitation to dislodge the soils from the surfaces it attaches. Some methods we use to agitate during cleaning include:

• Air pressure
• Water pressure
• Scrubbing
• Rotating brushes
• Sand sandblasting

After the fire and smoke damage, your home may also have foul odors. Our SERVPRO team can use hydroxyl generators to remove the bad smells. These generators produce oxidizing agents that break odor molecules apart. They create reactive super-oxide ions and hydroxyl molecules that effectively oxidize contaminants into harmless water and carbon dioxide. Hydroxyls also perform a gentler cleaning and do not require wait times to enter a treated building.
