 The Few Key Elements of Fire Restoration Mitigation 

When fires occur, it is necessary to act quickly. Experienced professionals from our team can work within a volatile environment to create a safer restoration atmosphere and better conditions for responding technicians. The earliest actions that we take to secure homes suffering fire loss include the following:

• Water removal
• Board-up
• Air filtration
• Controlled demolition

Clearing Debris 

Among the first steps of fire restoration for Yakima homes and businesses is removing debris from the floors. Heaps of ash and soot residues produced by the combustion process hinder other restoration actions from starting. Debris can cause greater concentrations of soot deposits on surfaces, creating more significant odor issues to overcome.

Removing Smoke and Soot Damage  

When soot and smoke deposits threaten surfaces in the house, it is necessary to have appropriate cleaning processes to address these concerns. The longer soot impacts sensitive substrates, the more likely these corrosive particles stain and mar the material in question. We have surface-cleaning strategies to address these residues in the earliest stages, including solvents and detergents. We also have more aggressive abrasive and mechanical actions where necessary.

Cleaning Contents 

Protecting their possessions and contents in the house is paramount to many homeowners. It is necessary to do anything possible to prevent greater harm to these objects and remove them from the damaged path. We have relocation services that begin with our team's arrival, as well as on-site cleaning and pack-out processes depending on the condition of these items.

Neutralizing Harsh Smells

Malodors should also be a consideration. Early action to reduce the severity of smells produced by the combustion process can make the restoration more efficient and promote better living conditions for house occupants. We have several deodorization tools and products to help.

Fire restoration for Yakima homes focuses on several areas where assistance is needed immediately. Our experienced SERVPRO of Yakima FSRT-Certified professionals is ready to mobilize quickly to help. Call us at (509) 972-6707.

SERVPRO Is an Expert at Yakima Water Damage Repair

When persistent, water event-related odors haunt your Yakima residence, who can you call? While numerous local restoration services can be found online, relatively few are experts at eliminating foul smells. Some firms may have difficulty finding the source of these issues, while others may lack the necessary remediation tools or deodorants to complete the job effectively.

SERVPRO, with over fifty years of odor neutralization experience, is a Yakima water damage repair company uniquely equipped to deodorize even the most severely impacted homes successfully. After our skilled technicians locate ceiling leaks, repair any leaky or burst pipes, clean up basement flooding, and perform any other necessary emergency water damage services, they quickly get to work on ridding your residence of unwanted, leak-related smells.

SERVPRO experts accomplish this by:

• Professionally discarding irreparable, waterlogged contents and structural materials from interiors so that they do not develop odor-producing fungal growths
• Blocking or removing fungus-fouled, upholstered furnishings and then cleaning and treating them with powerful, deodorant-dispensing misting foggers and injection devices
• Thoroughly deodorizing ceilings and walls with ULV foggers and pump sprayers
• Using commercial-grade disinfectants and odor-neutralizing fogs to treat subflooring and both sides of carpeting
• Mopping concrete, hardwood, and other types of hard flooring with antimicrobials and odor eliminators
• Ensuring that water-impacted interior areas are entirely dried using the correct ratio of dehumidifiers to air movers, and smell-reducing pellets have effectively mitigated any lingering odors

Once all these measures have been taken, homeowners are often amazed to find their properties returned to their pre-event condition, with no unpleasant smells remaining.

So, if you are ever troubled by difficult-to-eliminate odors following water damage repair work, rest assured that your helpful neighbors at SERVPRO of Yakima can help. We are always ready to assist you, any time of the day or night, at (509) 972-6707.
