Variants in the Smoke and Soot Characteristics Presenting During Lockport Residential Fire Damage Restoration Resolve Well When SERVPRO Professionals Are on the Job

One-size-fits-all cleanup approaches are popular for busy Lockport homeowners, limiting the products chosen in anticipation of routine housekeeping and occasional messes. A fire loss calls this attitude into question. If you decide to try to manage all the cleaning yourself or even pick out a few tasks to get out of the way before the professionals arrive, unfortunate circumstances are likely. If the professional evaluation and cleaning adaptations are not made, restoration fails.

Why Is Planning Fire Damage Restoration Such a Puzzle?

Lockport residents who feel the restoration of fire damage is merely another maintenance task are probably coping with their first smoke and soot cleanup emergency. The residues created when building materials and contents are unique and pose significant challenges to resolve. An all-purpose cleaner and a sponge can spread and smear the soot, failing to remove the residues adequately and exposing the structures and contents affected to the risk of corrosive damage.

The possibility of skin contact with or inhalation of potentially toxic substances also can pose health consequences. Different fuels in different parts of your home create smoke and soot residuals that vary widely and require individualized interventions even within the same room. Strategies to eliminate these residues must reflect this reality.
