Milton Businesses Benefit from SERVPRO'S Fire Cleanup Services

Commercial fires can be an unfortunate blight on your business's ability to trade effectively and harm your bottom line. Since business premises are often unoccupied outside of working hours and on weekends, fires can often cause severe levels of damage.

As a site manager responsible for your clients' Milton fire damaged business, it is vital to act quickly against the damage caused by fire, not least by bringing in qualified odor control technicians (OCT) to address indoor air quality issues. Combusting materials can release all kinds of particulate matter into an indoor space, including, but not limited to, odor particles. These are considered volatile organic compounds (VOCs), penetrating surfaces conglomerate in air ducts and porous materials. It is often impossible to isolate any single source of a smell which is why SERVPRO uses a multi-layered approach:

• Water removal if needed post extinguishing
• Indoor air quality issues, HEPA filtration with air scrubbers
• Smoke damage, including demolition and removal 

The first step in notifying us of commercial fire damage in your Milton business is via the phone. A dedicated administrator can take details of your fire damaging incident before arranging for the necessary restoration equipment to be stocked into our vans and trained technicians to arrive at your location. Time is of the essence in fire restoration, so we guarantee that the whole process from notification of loss to arriving on-site takes place within four to eight hours. Our OCT technicians can use several methods to help restore indoor air quality when addressing odor issues.

• Pellets are usually placed in ducts, cavities, or beneath the flooring to counteract any unpleasant fire odors. 
• Thermal fogging can also be used in ducts as well as larger spaces. Thermal foggers use chemical pairing agents to find and neutralize offensive sources.
• A more recent advance in odor control is Hydroxyl generators which are safe to use in occupied spaces, for example, shared office blocks.
