Raleigh Area Commercial Showrooms Rely on SERVPRO for Rapid FIre Damage Cleanup and Restoration

SERVPRO Has Extensive Experience Cleaning Raleigh Showrooms after Fire Damage Restoring their Pre-Loss Shine

You may be thankful when a fire incident at your Raleigh sports good shop is stopped before it consumes everything. However, once the smoke, and initial panic clear, you are likely to encounter other problems such as large surfaces darkened with layers of residue. Even those not affected significantly may look dull.

Is there a way to expedite the cleaning process?

Although cleaning is a cost-effective way to restore fire damage at your Raleigh sporting goods store, you may feel discouraged when you consider the extent of cleaning tasks you have to perform. The bright and vast ceiling and wall surfaces may take considerable time to clean, leading to extended closure. Our SERVPRO crews can help ease the process by availing various resources, including:

• Self-propelled cherry pickers
• Pressure washers
• Soda-blasting equipment

Scrubbing a broad area such as a ceiling until it is clean can take time. When our technicians use pressure washers, we can reduce that time to a small fraction allowing you to resume operations earlier. We also bring plastic sheets to cover items in the store to minimize wetting. Needless to say, this process is not suitable for many showrooms.

Does cleaning remove all types of fire soils?

Fires leave a wide range of residues, including oily or synthetic deposits. Some of the residues may also penetrate beyond the surface in porous materials. The amalgamation of these factors means that cleaning might not be helpful in the removal of all forms of soiling. When our SERVPRO technicians restore damaged shops, we combine regular and sophisticated cleaning approaches to achieve the desired results. We combine cleaning approaches from different categories, including:

• Mechanical agitation
• Chemical action
• Non-abrasive blasting
• Special Dry Sponges for Wiping

Non-abrasive blasting such as soda or dry ice blasting helps remove residues embedded in porous materials such as unfinished wood in frame ceilings.

A fire incident should not dull your service to customers. Call SERVPRO of East Raleigh / Zebulon at (919) 250-0455 to help clean your store, restoring areas damaged by the incident, "Like it never even happened."
