Inspection and Fire Damage Restoration by SERVPRO

Testing, or scoping, a commercial business in Patchogue, is an essential part of restoring the structure and contents. Companies open to customers may continue to have burnt odors or indoor air quality issues after a fire. These issues occur by failing to recognize all the areas of harm on the premises. SERVPRO IICRC certified technicians take time to locate soot and smoke residues to ensure that they are removed before completing the commercial restoration. Our crew chiefs combine practical testing with their training on smoke behavior during the fire to ensure that we return your business to its preloss condition as quickly as possible. We aim to keep your business in business.

 Are some smoke residues invisible?

 When observing a structure that requires commercial fire and smoke restoration in Patchogue, there are likely apparent smoke residues and some less obvious. Smoke billows out from a fire source leading to extensive soiling on the surfaces closest and lighter soils on surfaces further away. Our technicians observe these more light residues by using white paper to compare and contrast areas of damage and a dry cleaning sponge, which can often make lighter smoke residues visible. These tests are an essential form of odor control for your business, ensuring that it returns to its preloss condition after the fire.

Many retail shops and offices must maintain a safe and healthy indoor air quality IAQ. This quality can be severely compromised by fire. The HVAC system must be inspected and cleaned if evidence of soot or odors is discovered within the ductwork. Our SERVPRO team has advanced equipment like whisks, negative air pressure machines, and fogging devices to eliminate pungent odors and residues from these ducts.

A business needs thorough inspection and protocols following the best practices of the IICRC to ensure that any residual stains, and odor, are brought under control before re-opening. Contact SERVPRO of Patchogue at (631) 924-1801.
