Clearwater SERVPRO Techs Provide 24/7 House Fire Cleanup

SERVPRO professionals know that disasters can happen at any time and often unexpectedly. While Clearwater homeowners may expect disasters to result from candles or grease fires, a staggering number of fires come from simple electrical failures and appliance malfunctions. The video shows how quickly an electrical outlet can catch fire, leaving behind greasy soils that require fire damage remediation.

While Clearwater homeowners may have access to fire suppression that can stop damage before it gets out of hand, most consumer-grade products are ill-equipped to address fire and smoke damage stains and odors. SERVPRO professionals are a phone call away from implementing fire remediation services 24/7, including weekends and holidays.

SERVPRO Fire and Smoke Damage Cleanup Strategies for Clearwater Home Restoration

Depending on the situation, many Clearwater house fire cleanup scenarios require water remediation first, especially after emergency services fire suppression. SERVPRO technicians are ready to perform the following: 

• Remove unsalvageable debris per the disaster cleanup plan presented to Clearwater property owners and insurance adjusters
• Remediate moisture exposure with portable or truck-mounted extraction units
• Eliminate remaining water from structural materials via strategic placement of SERVPRO’s centrifugal air movers and dehumidifiers

Water damage remediation occurs before soot and smoke damage cleanup to minimize the risk of mold growth and secondary damages. Water can also make soot corrosive to metals and finishes, which can impact homeowners’ property.

Fire Restoration from Clearwater SERVPRO Technicians Emphasize Safe Debris Removal

As the video shows, SERVPRO technicians are careful to observe fire restoration guidelines set by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), which include: 

• Wearing head-to-toe personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Establishing containment in fire-damage areas of a Clearwater property with negative air pressure
• Polyethylene sheeting over entryways
• Industrial-grade plastic bags for debris removal 

SERVPRO’s HEPA-filter vacuums can pick up soot and other loose particles over 0.3 microns in size, covering over 99% of particles and soot clusters in a given Clearwater disaster situation.

Clearwater House Fire Cleanup with SERVPRO Odor Control Technologies

Whether it comes from a protein fire in a Clearwater kitchen or an electrical fire in a bathroom, fire damage leaves behind strong malodors that SERVPRO is well-equipped to remove. Clearwater odor control professionals can utilize such sophisticated technologies as hydroxyl generators, which remove odor-causing particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with ultraviolet radiation. In short, this device gently eliminates odors on the molecular level in a similar manner to sunlight. SERVPRO technicians also use EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions and enzyme digesters to remediate microbes and protein residues, respectively.
