SERVPRO® Offers Fast and Efficient Fire Restoration in Brunswick  

Smoke and soot particles can ruin the aesthetics and cause structural damage to your home after a fire incident. Hiring fire restoration experts like SERVPRO can reduce the extent of this damage to your Brunswick home.   

SERVPRO techs use different cleaning techniques to remove smoke and soot particles during the fire restoration of your Brunswick home. As the chlorides and sulfides in the smoke particles can combine with water to generate acids, it is essential to remove them as quickly as possible before they cause permanent damage. 

Cleaning Methods to Remove Smoke Damage 

SERVPRO techs select a cleaning method depending on the type of soot particles and the surface involved. The aim is to break the bond between the particles and the surface and suspend them into a cleaning solution.   

Here are some of the most common cleaning agents we use during house fire cleanup:

• Surface cleaners: These cleaners generally have a slightly alkaline pH and are great for removing soils from glossy surfaces like paneling, tiles, and hardwood furniture. 
• Strong acid cleaners: SERVPRO techs use these cleaners on stone and brick surfaces. The phosphoric acid in these cleaners can also easily dislodge soot particles from ceramic and aluminum surfaces. 

• Liquid crème cleaners: These agents serve a dual purpose of cleaning and polishing surfaces like Formica, ceramic, and metal. As these contain mild abrasives, SERVPRO techs don’t use them on porous surfaces that can easily scratch.  

• Heavy-duty cleaners: These cleaning agents efficiently remove sticky residue after a kitchen fire. Their higher alkalinity allows them to cut through touch acidic residues, removing them efficiently from surfaces like ceramic. 

Understanding the science behind fire restoration allows SERVPRO techs to restore your fire-damaged home “Like it never even happened.”
