Restoring Your Patchogue Apartment After Sprinkler Suppression

Sprinkler systems can work quickly to suppress the spread and severity of fire damages to your Patchogue apartment and neighboring properties, but it comes with restoration requirements of its own. Not only do professional restoration technicians need to address lingering concerns like soot and smoke odors that can infiltrate the entire apartment, but with sprinkler systems, our team must also overcome widespread water loss effects as well.

Understanding the best approaches to overcome fire damage in Patchogue apartments begins with thoroughly assessing the situation. Our SERVPRO professionals must work quickly to determine the best methods to both contain the current effects to the damaged areas and start mitigating these losses to reduce out-of-pocket expenses and overall restoration times for our customers. The faster that this work can begin, the less likely other apartments adjoining yours also become affected by the smell or other effects lingering after the disaster.

Among the chief concerns with sprinklers, suppression is addressing any of the saturation of structural elements, kitchen cabinetry, and flooring throughout the apartment. Depending on the severity of the fire and the installed products to suppress it, the volume of water left throughout the unit can vary between damp surfaces and an inch or more of standing water. Addressing water damage often comes before other fire recovery solutions, as saturation and overexposure can be more detrimental to material composition and integrity, which can ultimately require removal and replacement without thorough drying.

Another concern is that while fire damage might stay localized to a single area, many apartment suppression systems involve the entire unit simultaneously. This design presents water damage and threats to areas where fire damage never occurred. Fortunately, along with the premier equipment that our SERVPRO team has for fire recovery and restoration, we also arrive with the full measure of our water extraction and drying tools to suit every need and condition.

Addressing the water effects after a fire might be an initial step, but there are still many obstacles to overcome to make this disaster “Like it never even happened.” We can clean soot and smoke residues from surfaces, employ soda and media blasting techniques to restore the look and function of countertops and other solid surfaces, and utilize an array of devices to deodorize your apartment and its contents thoroughly.


Fire losses can happen at any time. Trust in our SERVPRO of Patchogue team to handle all of the effects that might come along with them. Give us a call at (631) 924-1801.
