SERVPRO Implements Various Controls to Manage Hazards During Fire Restoration

Properties are littered with risks after disasters such as fire incidents. Such perils can originate from significant matters as weakened structural elements or simple ones such as misplaced items. Apart from the risks you might face, the issues also significantly slow down the restoration process.  

For timely fire damage restoration at your Brookside premises, unique solutions are necessary to all risk factors. Before you can address a risk, you need to identify it. The vast experience our SERVPRO technicians have helps ease identification. 

Common issues expected in a property after fire damage include:

• Slick surfaces from water spilled during firefighting
• Inadequate lighting
• Debris littering walkways
• Hanging structural materials

Since fire burns some materials only partially, it can leave them hanging loosely.  Typical materials left dangling include electrical fixtures and cables, ceiling panels, and drywall. Apart from hitting people, electrical fixtures can also injure through shock, so they need timely attention. Our SERVPRO technicians can check whether power into the building is disabled by checking the mains or using voltage detectors. That way, it is safe to fix or remove the hanging electrical fixtures.

With no power in the building and wall surfaces darkened by soot, there might be limited illumination which can hamper restoration work routines. The problem is worse if working at night.  Among the resources, our SERVPRO teams bring to fire loss sites are portable lights which are very handy in supplying light where needed.

Different types of light are suitable in different property layouts:

• Wobble lights suitable for highly trafficked areas
• Stand lights for directional lighting
• String lights for vast properties such as warehouses 

Debris and slick surfaces are common since they can develop during fire incidents or restoration processes. However, they are easily resolved through simple management steps. Our technicians fast-track water extraction and bag waste materials to eliminate this risk.
