The Conditions of the Fire

Fire restoration for Setauket homes and businesses relies greatly on the fire's environmental conditions and specific factors. Each situation is unique in this regard, and cleanup and restoration change per the final state of the household after extinguishment occurs. Some of the determining factors for the ultimate smoke damage to the residence include:

• Temperature – The heat of the fire can often determine the thickness of the smoke solid deposits on surfaces. Higher heat produces thinner residues. 
• Obstructions – Closed doors do not fully stop the migration of smoke damage, but they can slow its movement through a structure during a fire and while restoration first begins.
• Environmental Factors – Humidity and the impacted building materials also play a part in the byproducts of combustion that our SERVPRO team must help clean.

Cleaning Smoke Damage

There are several levels to removing smoke damage and soot threats from a structure, regardless of the contact time with dangerous circulating particles. The full procedure can be broken down into four levels of smoke remediation:

• Surface Cleaning – using products to pull soils from the surface and wipe them away.
• Mechanical Action – using a tool to agitate cleaning products for more penetrative and effective chemical reactions.
• Abrasive Tactics – using machines like media blasters to penetrate beyond the surface layer without ruining the affected substrate.
• Controlled Demolition – removing the damaged material entirely.
