Need Raleigh Bathroom Electrical Fire Damage Restoration?

1/19/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO can restore this soot and smoke-damaged Raleigh bathroom back to its preloss condition, "Like it never even happened."

Fire Damage Restoration from SERVPRO Includes Raleigh Structure and Contents Cleanup

Bathroom fire damage can be distressing to tackle, especially compared to other forms of fire damage on a Raleigh property. The amount of moisture in a bathroom can make soot removal particularly challenging without access to professional-grade solutions. Worse still, this smoke residue can potentially turn acidic and corrode appliances exposed to soot after a fire.

SERVPRO fire damage restoration for Raleigh properties is a comprehensive process that includes cleanup, demolishing unsalvageable surfaces with homeowner’s and insurer’s permission, and rebuilding structural materials. This team’s repair-when-possible approach provides cost-effective service with minimal replacement needs.

Soot Cleanup After Bathroom Electrical Fire Damage

SERVPRO professionals carefully remove large soot deposits and fire damage debris in thick plastic bags to prevent secondary damages from smoke damage particles or residues. Personal protective equipment is a must for keeping surfaces clean and streamlining the mitigation process.

Fire cleanup entails:

  • Structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers to remove moisture before performing soot removal
  • Demolition of irreparable drywall and other materials with the permission of homeowners and insurers
  • Thorough manual cleaning of bathroom contents with equipment ranging from dry cleaning sponges to heavy-duty alkaline cleaners, with lipophilic and hydrophilic options available to target various residue types
  • Odor control with thermal fogging, EPA-registered biocide solutions, hydroxyl generators, and abrasion blasting with dry ice or soda ash on charred surfaces

SERVPRO cleanup services can also clean and restore ventilation with specialized agitation tools and cleaning solutions. Flex duct is more cost-effective to replace, but sheet metal ventilation is often salvageable after a home fire.

SERVPRO of South Cary / Apex responds to residential disaster restoration needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (919) 615-1160 to kickstart the process.
