SERVPRO Fire Damage Teams in Rockaway Have Unique Equipment for Textured Surfaces and Masonry

Fires release poisonous gases with huge amounts of soot, ash, and smoke. When confined to an enclosed space, like a home, the temperature changes brought about by fire can increase the air pressure within the room. This increase in air pressure means that soot, smoke, or ash, can be pressed against surfaces where it condenses and becomes challenging to remove. Removing compressed soot is twice as difficult when interior decor features textured ceilings, exposed brickwork, or another masonry because soot is pushed into the tiny cracks and cavities that make up a textured surface. Most homeowners rely on professional services to bring the correct equipment and clear soot, smoke, or ash from their homes after a fire. SERVPRO can help you with:

• Surface cleaning
• Soot Removal
• Specialty cleaning

When looking for fire damage restoration in Rockaway, it is essential to ensure that the company has the correct equipment and training. Licenses and qualifications can be checked using the internet, while larger companies often have better equipment and human resources. SERVPRO has fire damage restoration professionals who hold qualifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certifications body to accompany our advanced equipment. When restoring textured surfaces, using high-pressure equipment can speed up the process. Whether it is masonry, exposed brickwork, textured ceilings, a high air pressure pump, or in some circumstances, precision water pressure tools can help to remove staining quickly and easily. 

• Removing soots ingrained in surfaces is among the most effective odor control methods in a burnt property.
