Cleaning techniques used by SERVPRO technicians

Fire damage incidents lead to billions of losses in the US, and most of those events are mainly structural fires. If your property is insured, then the adjuster and the insurance agents have to deliver on what the insurance policy outlines. Amid all that, you still need professional restoration services to prevent further damage and determine what is restorable as you come into terms with the traumatic experience. We are going to look at some of the options that residents of Holly Hill have when they face such situations.

Cleaning services are necessary when our SERVPRO technicians are restoring your property after a fire damage incident in Holly Hill. Depending on the surface we are cleaning, we may check on the aggressiveness of the cleaning method and the concentration of the cleaning agent so that your contents do not suffer any unnecessary damage. For instance, some fragile items cannot withstand solvent based cleaning agents and aggressive agitation. Thus, we may use absorbent powders to clean them in a process known as absorption.

To avoid over-wetting some items and reduce the drying time, our SERVPRO technicians may decide to use surface techniques which limit the quantity of the cleaning product that we apply to a surface. Part of the processes we use is foam cleaning together with spray and wipe. It is efficient to spray light amounts of the cleaning product on furniture and other hard-surface materials and then use a dry cleaning garment to wipe. On the other hand, we can use foam cleaning to clean contents that are likely to be damaged after exposure to excessive moisture. We obtain the form by generating it from a cleaning agent.

When we need to control the temperature and quantity of the cleaning agent, we may choose immersion techniques. In this process, we place the items in a machine or tank, and it is also possible to control the cleaning time. An ultrasonic cleaner cleans items by using sound waves that instantaneously emit millions of vapor bubbles and is a form of immersion technique.
