The 3 Most Efficient Methods of Fire Remediation

After the fire department puts out the fire in your home in Crystal River, FL, you look at the mess left behind and wonder how you can ever restore the place to its original beauty and comfort. You can use these three most efficient methods of fire remediation to reclaim your home and make it safe and sanitary again.

Call Professionals to Clean Up Damage and Debris

To clean up the damage to important household systems like your HVAC unit, you need to hire professional contractors. Our technicians at ServiceMaster can use intensive cleaning methods to remove heavy debris from the ducts and outside unit. They include:

• Low pressure sandblasting
• Sodium bicarbonate cleaning
• Dry ice blasting
• Non-destructive rubber blasting

We will also dry, clean and deodorize salvageable household items and eliminate odors caused by smoke and soot.

Install and Use Dehumidifiers

Before you work in areas where water was used to put out the fire, you need to set up and use dehumidifiers. These devices will control the moisture in the air where you are working. They make the surfaces drier and easier to clean, plus they prevent soot and ash from spreading throughout the place.

Wear Gloves and Goggles

You also need to remember to wear protective gear like rubber gloves and goggles. This gear prevents your skin and eyes from coming into contact with ash and soot. If you do get this debris on your skin or in your eyes, you need to wash it away quickly. Residual chemicals and chemical reactions from the fire to household belongings can cause injury to hands and eyes along with possible falling debris.
