Fire Damage Ventura California

When your home or business suffers damage as the result of fire, there are many types of possessions that can hold onto dangerous soot, ash and toxic residue. This residue may be corrosive, clingy and cause damage on soft surfaces, electronics and more after a fire. This soot can cause health effects.

Several strategies get implemented for soot removal and fire restoration in homes, including:

SODA BLASTING

• This process is an abrasive cleaning technique with sodium bicarbonate particles forcefully propelled with pressurized air against soot –covered surfaces.

CHEMICAL SPONGES

• Often, our chemical sponges are natural rubber compositions with large pores which can remove much of this soil and debris when run across soot-damaged surfaces.

CONTROLLED DEMOLITION

• When other abrasive tactics are not possible, removing the damaged materials can be the only remaining suitable solution.

If you find yourself in a situation where your home or business has been damaged by fire, calling a professional may be the best solution. Please call us SERVPRO of Ventura at (805) 656-3911.
