3 Ways that Fire Damage Might Impact a Home in Stafford Springs

10/24/2023 (Permalink)

Our SERVPRO technicians work hard to restore your fire damaged Stafford Springs home. "Like it never even happened."

Cleanup and Restoration Are Crucial for a Safe Home Environment

There is a wide variety of items a family might have within their Stafford Springs residence, and each house's floor plan is different from most other homes. We recommend that families practice daily fire safety and hold fire drills regularly.

Because of the diversity in building materials and the different ways a fire can start, every fire is unique. A difference in humidity within a structure can affect the depth of a fire's damage in Stafford Springs. Homes with higher humidity might experience more incomplete burning, which creates denser soot and ash than the fire in a drier dwelling.

You Need SERVPRO's Methods, Equipment, & Training

We want to explain some of the ways a house fire can affect your Stafford Springs residence, along with the techniques SERVPRO® uses to resolve these problems.

• Soot deposits can cause etching of polished surfaces, sharply intense and unpleasant odors, and staining of surfaces (along with accelerated disintegration) - we remove soot via brush and vac, wet toweling, chemical bonding, and agitated suds.
• Physical destruction of personal items and the interior composition of your residence through direct fire and high heat - we remove all unrepairable items and take photos of it all so we know the building elements to rebuild and the items to populate an inventory list (this helps with insurance paperwork, also), and
• Airborne ash and other pollutants can create an unbearable breathing environment - our air scrubbers start work as soon as we begin (even though we wear respirators) until we have cleaned up and restored your home.

Also, damaged utility infrastructure often requires replacements before turning any service back on - firefighters often shut off gas, electricity, and water inside a burning house, later requiring the entire system's replacement.

We can arrange this so everything happens smoothly and without extending your expected date to return home. We can guide you every step of the way to decrease the stress and uncertainty of this disaster.
