Water damage often results from fire extinguishment. SERVPRO performs complete fire damage restoration and makes it "Like it never even happened."

Controlled Demolition for Fire Damage in Patchogue Home

Our goal is always to assist homeowners in limiting fire damage by using our restoration methods. We undergo extensive training, and we keep up with the latest advancements for both equipment and techniques in the restorative sciences.

When our SERVPRO location answered a call to mitigate fire damage in a Patchogue home, we found a living room gutted by fire. Too many high-wattage appliances running simultaneously on a strip plug caused an ungrounded wall plug to overheat and sparked a blaze within the wall cavity.

Water & Fire Damage Restorations

When the homeowner contacted us and told us their home contained both smoke and water issues. We advised them to stay out of the damaged area of the house. On arrival, we contained the entryways to the living room with heavy plastic to halt the spread of soot.

Exposure to water causes damage and makes items heavy. SERVPRO technicians removed the items from the room that had no potential for restoration due to damage from the fire. We extracted water from the wet carpet and padding to lessen the weight and make it easier to remove.

Mitigation on the room included removing all the debris left behind, and then we cut away the charred sheetrock so the wall cavity could get adequate ventilation to dry. After water extraction, we used hand vacuums with HEPA filtration to pick up all the soot.

Equipment for Removing Smoke Damage

After drying the water-affected areas of the room, air scrubbers with HEPA filters were used to capture the remaining odor-causing soot particles in the space. Once we had cleaned and disinfected surfaces, we deployed a Hydroxyl generator to neutralize any residual smoke odors so the home could be repaired and rebuilt without trapped odors.

We offer rebuilding services, and once we completed mitigation on the living room area, our SERVPRO crew chief gave the homeowner and adjuster a detailed list of the remediation and the necessary repairs to bring the room back to its preloss condition.
