How Does Containment Protect Your Rocky Point Shop from Fire Damage?
10/11/2020 (Permalink)
When a fire damages a portion of your Rocky Point retail shop, we can work quickly to prevent the spread of hazardous conditions like soot, smoke, and odors.
Fires can be destructive to Rocky Point shops, especially when post-extinguishment mitigation does not begin as quickly as it should. Because our SERVPRO team stays prepared for losses like these, we can mobilize promptly after notification of your disaster.
The objective of early fire damage restoration for Rocky Point shops like yours is to protect as much of the structure and your wares as possible. The best strategy for this is the installation of containment barriers with poly sheeting and wood frames. These rigid barriers can help out your business in multiple ways, including:
- Establishing a Staging Area – By creating a clean room adjacent to the work areas, we can prevent cross-contamination of entire regions to the restoration zone. Staging areas also serve as an accessible location for storing vital mitigation and recovery equipment.
- Preventing the Spread of Contaminants – There are numerous threats and hazards that persist long after a fire gets extinguished, including circulating soot particles. Carcinogens and toxins can also be present. Barriers prevent the migration of these effects until air quality control practices can eliminate the threats.
- Allowing Your Business to Continue – In some situations, the placement of barriers and containment walls can keep your shop going in a limited capacity when possible.
Can SERVPRO Perform Build Back as Well?
There are few fire restoration situations that our professionals begin without the understanding that build-back and reconstruction are likely necessary at some point. In these circumstances where your shop becomes impacted by spreading fire effects, our professionals might need to remove shelving, counters, and other fixtures to replace them.
While fire losses can be devastating to your business, our SERVPRO of Port Jefferson team can help with fast and reliable responses when it matters most. Give us a call today at (631) 476-5300.
