SERVPRO Can Help Homeowners to Recover from Shreveport Smoke and Fire

It is distressing to have fire damage on your property. Fire and smoke damage can be direct or secondary, varying in severity from the superficial to the pervasive. When different materials get burnt, they create distinct kinds of smoke deposits that can penetrate the non-sealed areas of your home. SERVPRO understands that it is essential to repair and restore your home as soon as possible.

We have an exceptional understanding of the unique challenges linked with handling smoke and fire damage in Shreveport homes. Our industry know-how enables us to protect, clean, and restore affected structures and contents. For instance, removing micro-particulate soot calls for specialized chemicals. Odor removal also requires advanced equipment. SERVPRO’s fire and smoke damage management range include:

• Specifically designed products that address post-fire damage to various surfaces, including woodwork, plasterwork, glass, laminate, and metals.
• Finishing solutions designed to restore fabrics, plastics, and stainless steel to their former condition.
• Products for cleaning and protecting surfaces, ensuring their longevity and usability.
• Products and equipment designed to remove lingering odors.
• Help prevent smoke damage by installing smoke detectors

The contaminants involved in a fire depend on several variables like household materials, building construction methods, and the timeframe that the smoke or fire damage was left untreated. Apart from fire damage like burnt materials and heat devastation, there is a need to detect leaks from the damaged kitchen or bathroom equipment. Our SERVPRO team can use thermal imaging cameras to inspect and monitor the moisture in building materials. They enable us to see how water traveled throughout a structure.

Our SERVPRO technicians can use ventilation equipment to remove smoke, dust, and soot from your home. Different kinds of air movers generate an airflow of great velocity, from 1,000 to 3,000 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM). Restoration experts use such air movement for general ventilation to eliminate fumes, odors, and vapors from a structure. Negative air pressure is utilized to port unclean ambient air to the exterior of the structure using flexible ducts.
