Looking for a restoration company? Look no further, SERVPRO is just a call away.

SERVPRO Offers Premier Fire Restoration Services in Reading 

Smoke and soot particles settle on various surfaces after a fire incident and can cause discoloration and corrosion. Hence, the primary goal of the fire restoration of your Reading home is to remove these particles as quickly as possible. 

SERVPRO techs use different cleaning techniques during the fire restoration of your Reading home depending on the type of soot and the surface involved. As the smoke particles are tiny (0.1 to 4 microns), they can easily penetrate porous surfaces like fabric and drywall, making it challenging for the restorers to remove them.  

Factors Affecting the Cleanability After Fire damage 

Fire damage can present different cleaning and restoration situations depending on how various structural elements interact with the smoke and soot particles. SERVPRO techs consider the following factors in determining the cleanability of fire-damaged homes.

• Type of surface: Porous surfaces allow the smoke and soot particles to penetrate deeper, making them challenging for SERVPRO techs to clean compared to nonporous surfaces. Similarly, synthetic fabrics are easier to clean than natural fabrics.  

• Age of the surface: Older surfaces are more challenging to clean than newer ones. As the older paint on a surface deteriorates, it becomes more porous, making it more difficult to clean than a fresh coat of paint.  

• Amount of heat: Hotter fires can cause more extensive damage to the surface that is difficult to clean. Intense heat can also char the surfaces, necessitating refinishing.

• Impingement: Hotter-burning fires produce turbulent smoke that moves with incredible velocity through the structure, impinging (colliding) the surfaces. More significant impingement results in deeper penetration of the soot particles, making cleaning difficult.

SERVPRO techs are trained in handling even the most challenging smoke damage situations and work hard to restore your home “Like it never even happened.”
