Fire damage? SERVPRO is prepared with restoration equipment and experienced technicians.

They Chemically Clean Up Mahopac Fire Damage 

When a fire impacts your Mahopac residence, it generally leaves behind damaging residues and foul odors. Fortunately, it is possible to resolve these troublesome issues. Fire-related residues can be removed by chemically altering them, and odors are often effectively counteracted and neutralized with the appropriate gases.

SERVPRO has successfully cleaned up and restored fire damage in the Mahopac area for decades. Our highly-trained professionals have routinely addressed fire and smoke damage and performed the services fire-damaged homes typically require, like smoke remediation and fire restoration. They employ various measures to perform their work and specifically target the particular fouling elements involved. Some of the chemically counteractive actions SERVPRO technicians take are:

• Digesting protein residues, like blood, sweat, eggs, dairy products, and other bodily fluids and protein-containing foods, with living organisms known as enzymes and then removing the residues with detergents, ammonia, or water
• Bleaching staining soils, with either oxidizing (oxygen adding) or reducing (oxygen removing) bleach, to remove them from materials and thereby eliminate stains without adversely impacting the materials’ colors.
• Using Brown Out (#257) to remove water stains from synthetic carpets/materials and Natural Fabric Brightener (#153) to eliminate those impacting things made of natural fibers like wool and cotton
• Removing rust from carpeting and another cotton, wool, linen, silk, and synthetic fibers with the strong oxalic-phosphorus acid solution Rusticide (#116)
• Oxidizing and breaking down offensive odor particles with ozone gas to neutralize unpleasant, fire-related smells

In each way, we alter the chemical structure of residues and problematic particles to better deal with them and return your home to its pre-fire state.
