SERVPRO Fire Damage Repair in Nashua Is Procedural

Resolving fire-related problems is only an everyday problem if you have a fire restoration or firefighting career. Therefore, when a blaze affects your property, you might not know what you are expected to do - in some cases, you might even question the actions taken by others to resolve damages.

Understanding the typical fire restoration procedures your Nashua property requires can help you cope with the loss better. SERVPRO helps with information and execution of the processes necessary to save your contents and structural sections affected during the incident. 

Standard Procedures Include:

• Property-wide inspection
• Elaborate deodorization procedures
• Addressing moisture deterioration

It might surprise you when the restoration team wants to inspect all the rooms in your house, including bedrooms and upstairs areas, after a small flare-up in the kitchen. Such an inspection helps reveal whether there is any hidden damage or, in most cases, soiling. The combustion process produces smoke, vapors, and aerosols that spread uninhibitedly across the property - even closed doors or windows cannot prevent smoke movement. Therefore, failure to inspect all areas can leave soils in otherwise unaffected regions.

Defeating Fire Odors Takes Effort

The strong stench left in the house by fires is expected. You might also expect it to go away when you remove debris and clean soot from the house. In most cases, your expectations might be shattered when smells remain after cleanup. Odor is not just confined to the air where you experience it. Its molecules penetrate porous materials, including wood and fabrics, which act as reservoirs releasing the odor back into the air; that is why cleaning does not eliminate the problem. Our SERVPRO crews use different deodorization techniques to defeat odor problems. 

Deodorization Procedures:

• Thermal fogging
• Wet fogging
• Neutralization with hydroxyl or ozone generators

Drying structural areas and contents is also an essential part of defeating odors. High humidity in the air makes odors more discernible. Moisture can also lead materials to deteriorate, creating new smells.
