Solutions for Heavy Fire Residue Soiling in Frederick Homes

Cleaning up after a fire loss incident can be an intricate process in Frederick homes, primarily because the approaches change based on multiple factors. The type of soiling, the severity of soiling, type of material affected, and location of the damage all play a role in determining the most efficient approach for removing present residues and greases left behind after fire losses. For more substantial concentrations of residues and soiling, our SERVPRO team has several potential products and techniques to help.

Depending on the affected surface, fire damage cleanup in Frederick homes involves multiple products and practices. Residues can heavily mar surfaces, especially acidic soot and smoke residues. Without a prompt response to these situations with the appropriate cleaning techniques, more structural elements and materials must get removed and replaced after a fire loss incident.

Wood Surfaces
For heavier soiling that could come to rest on wood surfaces, it is vital to address these concerns very directly. We have wood-specific restoration products like crème pastes that can get applied with extra-fine steel wool pads to provide an agitative cleaning approach for the surface. It is also possible in cases of severe damage to expensive wood surfaces to strip the finish redo it.

Ceilings
Soot and smoke residues can often migrate to the ceiling during the fire, leaving the densest concentrations of these particles in the upper portions of walls and on the ceiling materials. Depending on the construction of this ceiling, the cleaning varies. Wet cleaning, for example, is an excellent approach for painted or metal ceiling materials that are not too severely damaged by the fire to protect. Peroxide active cleaning, on the other hand, is effective with textured, blown ceiling materials.

Knowing how to address specific threats that exist for damaged surfaces and materials can help our SERVPRO of Frederick County team to save our customers time and money. Despite how stressful fire losses can be, We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster, and we are available 24/7 when you call (301) 662-1747.
