fire damage

Owning a home or a business comes with many responsibilities . Maintenance and preventions are essential elements that can decrease the risk of a fire. However, if you do experience a fire, the cost of restoration can be affected by different aspects.

Fire damage is not restricted to just things that have buildup; rather it is a combination of the factors like water damage, smoke damage and most importantly the extent of soot damage. The longer the acidic soot remains in place, the more damage it can cause. We at SERVPRO of Ventura we follow certain principles to ensure most comprehensive and efficient solutions. These includes:

Time – this measures the length of time passed between the exposure to harsh elements and adverse conditions to when cleaning process begins.

Action – this measures the mechanical action chosen to aid the cleaning process. The use of vacuums, brushes , steel wool and other abrasive  products reduces the thickness and severity of post fire residues.

Contact – determines the length of time before introducing a cleaning product or chemical against surface residues and soot deposits to when the secondary action is implemented to wipe the buildup away.

Temperature – warmer temperatures tend to allow chemical processes to happen faster. Technicians can manipulate the environmental conditions to suit the cleaning necessary in each situation.
