Chicago Residents Rely on SERVPRO For Fire Cleanup

It can feel daunting to see a residence after the first responders leave the scene. Possessions pushed into the center of the room and continually hosed down to halt the fire's spread is hard to look at. 

When SERVPRO works on Chicago fire cleanup jobs, the technicians' first actions are to go through the pile left by the firemen and see if there are any restorable items as the articles within the burn area get removed to a staging area outside. The staging area can have multiple uses such as:

• Use of immersion cleaning techniques for non-porous items
• Odor control treatments as needed for items
• Hand cleaning for hardwood or upholstered items without charring but need the removal of smoke residues or water stains

The technicians may need to mix specific formulas inside the home to create cleaning agents to use on particular surfaces without marring. For example, some surfaces cannot tolerate contact with a solvent-based cleaner. In those cases, oxygenated or oil-based cleansers may get used for releasing the sticky residue off the surface.
