After Fire Damage to Your Redington Shores House: Getting Rid of Water and Foul Odors

7/20/2022 (Permalink)

If your home has fire damage, contact SERVPRO to come out and assess. We come up with an effective remediation plan to suit your needs.

Our IICRC Certified Technicians Remediate ALL Aspects of Fire Damage from the Burned Items to the Smells That Remain

Following a large fire in your Redington Shores residence, you might be overwhelmed with what remains. While the fire department successfully suppressed the flames, this has posed two problems you must remedy as quickly as possible. The first is the water removal needs from the hoses used to quell the fire, and the second is to remove the lingering odor that makes it challenging to be in your home. 

Our SERVPRO technicians are skilled in multiple areas of restoration techniques. A multi-faceted assessment can mean that the fire damage to your Redington Shores home also gets addressed from a water and odor damage standpoint. Comprehensiveness is all a part of your restoration package that gets mapped out when you first meet with our professionals as they arrive to begin their work. 

Water removal techniques and equipment depend on the amount of water in your home following the fire suppression. In many cases, the amount of water damage can be as detrimental as the fire itself was, depending on the time it took to put out the blaze. Pumps are used to remove pooled water, while specifically placed heating fans quickly evaporate the water seeped into fabrics, flooring, and walls. 

Even with the water removal completed, the smoke and charring smell of burned material continues to linger throughout the affected area. SERVPRO experts we employ have advanced fogging equipment that can dispense a dense deodorizing vapor into the air throughout the impacted places in your house. This fog interacts with the smell in the air on a molecular level, bonding with these odorous molecules and neutralizing them. The effect is to remove the present odor without replacing it with a new one. 

Fires are unpredictable and destructive, and the damages they leave behind often go well beyond the combusted materials. When this kind of disaster strikes, you can trust our SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches to restore your home and mitigate your losses effectively.
