When you see the walls caked in soot and smell the smoke in your home, it’s time to bring in the professionals at SERVPRO to tackle the situation.

SERVPRO Utilizes Water, Detergent & Solvents in Fire Restoration of Homes in Kutztown

A fire in a home or building in Kutztown often leaves a variety of smoke residues in the immediate area of the fire. In addition, smoke odors are distributed throughout the house by the HVAC system or the hot air currents generated by the fire. The residues can be difficult to remove unless the proper cleaners and solvents are used.

SERVPRO fire damage restoration technicians in Kutztown are experienced and trained to manage every emergency, including the removal of smoke residues and odors. Grease fires generate a great deal of heavy, greasy smoke residues. Hot fires produce less smoke and have light, fluffy residues. Plastics and other non-organic materials make residues difficult to remove unless the proper solvent and process are used.

Water does not dissolve substances very well, especially when the smoke residue is oily. Adding specialized detergents to water can quickly dissolve oily substances and remove them from hard surfaces. We rinse porous materials thoroughly to remove all residues. When hard water is used, it can leave a salt deposit.

SERVPRO also uses solvents to remove non-soluble water residues as a cleaning agent. We use solvents when removing soils with water that may damage these materials. We use a combination of spray-on water solvents and solvents that will not combine with water for cleaning. Our teams have a great deal of experience and always use the correct cleaning agent to clean your contents and structure to protect these items.
