So Why SERVPRO for Cleaning My Home?

Fire restoration to Setauket homes requires far more skill than washing walls, repainting, and removing burned material. SERVPRO technicians train in the four elements needed to suspend smoke residues in a cleaning solution so they can be more easily removed without harming the personal and structural property.

What Are the Four Elements to Clean and Restore My Home?

• Temperature. Increasing the temperature of a cleaning solution speeds up the chemical process. Depending on the material being cleaned and the solution she chose, our restoration technician selects the temperature that helps her get the most out of her cleaning efforts. 
• Agitation. Here, our technician uses air and water pressure, brushes, and cloths to scrub or agitate residues off surfaces. For very thick layers of residues, technicians also have the option to place an item in an ultrasonic machine to use sonic vibrations to sufficiently agitate the cleaning solution to remove the residues without harming the surface. 
• Chemical Action. The commercial-grade cleaners our technicians use clear surfaces of residues by reaction with both the residues and the property surfaces where they are attached. The type of chemical action depends on the cleaner and the surface where it will be used. Options include dissolving, emulsifying, bleaching, oxidizing, changing pH, or digesting them into the solution.
• Time. Each cleaning agent requires time to rest or dwell on the surface. Our technicians carefully watch surfaces to ensure they do not exceed the time and accidentally cause further damage. 

What Happens Next?

SERVPRO technicians carefully collect the residues for removal from the home. As they perform these tasks, other team members remove items too burned for restoration and dispose of them safely, without spreading any residues to other parts of the home.
