Great Neck Property Owners Breathe a Sigh of Relief when SERVPRO Arrives for House Fire Cleanup and Restoration

SERVPRO has the Latest in Techniques and Equipment to Restore Homes in Great Neck

You may feel smoke damage in your home even when the fire does not occur within your walls. If you live in a multi-family unit or apartment building, smoke may travel through the ventilation system and invade your space with its offending smell. If the flames burn in your property, your need for fire and smoke damage restoration and cleanup may be more significant.

SERVPRO specializes in fire damage restoration in Great Neck. When fire-damaged homes need cleanup, many property owners fail to recognize that each surface requires a plan tailored to its characteristics. The EPA-approved solutions we use can be abrasive to some materials, and our certified team of experts operates accordingly. Agitation helps us dislodge residue and facilitate its removal. Some examples of agitation techniques include-

• Dry cleaning sponges- the friction and porosity of the sponge attracts loose soil on a surface. Although not recommended for greasy residue, it is ideal for the remains of dry smoke.
• Compressed air- the air pressure helps us blast air and dislodge particles from crevices and edges. Our SERVPRO team regulates the strength of the compressed air to protect the surfaces and items being cleaned.
• Abrasive powders- as the name implies, these are abrasive and need to be used carefully. This type of solution is applied and removed as suggested by industry best practices and only on surfaces that can withstand their strength.
