Restoration Of Structural Components In Your Manayunk Home After Fire Damage

A house-fire can damage your home in two separate ways. The first is your contents which may need to be taken out of the property and restored individually. The second element is structural and could be the physical framework of the building itself. Everything in between, such as cabinets, lighting fixtures, attics, windows or curtains are considered structural components and can sustain significant smoke or soot damage. With the right methods, these structural parts can be restored to preloss conditions.

The scope of remediation for properties with fire damage in Manayunk depends on the scale of the event. A SERVPRO technician can help you to ascertain the level of damage in the property as well as take steps to remediate structure. By carrying out a careful visual inspection, we can confidently assign which parts of your home are salvageable as well as which need to be demolished and replaced.

Electrical fittings can be particularly challenging to remediate. At SERVPRO we can remove the fittings to clean behind them and prevent malodors. Expensive structural components like chandeliers can be disassembled for ultrasonic cleaning. We can also use steam cleaning to help lift soots and smokes from your electrical fixtures and then remove the soots by hand using wet cleaning methods.

Removing soots and smoke residues require a combination of wet and dry cleaning methods. Fitted cabinets, particularly those mounted at eye level as in a kitchen, need to be individually cleaned to ensure the proper removal of all smoke and soots. Where wood has a lacquer, SERVPRO uses wet cleaning techniques to remove soiling. Inside a cabinet though is often unfinished wood so cleaning chemicals could cause further damage.

Every fire is unique so restoring property after these types of issues should be left to a professional. Attempting to remove soots by yourself could cause further damages and affect your insurance claim. SERVPRO is a nationally recognized institution that you can trust to act in your interests throughout the service. We always stick to our restore over replace promise and strive to conduct ourselves in an efficient, timely manner.
