Fires can happen without warning and you are going to need a company to come in and take care of the damage. Call SERVPRO for fire damage remediation.

Many Surfaces Can be Damaged by Fire Extinguishment Methods in Coral Springs Properties.

After a fire, open office buildings can suffer substantially from the spread of fire damage effects and the lingering residues and deposits of extinguishment and suppression systems. As fast as properties can become overwhelmed by these effects, it is vital to have professional restoration technicians mobilize quickly to get mitigation and recovery started.

The Effects of Soot and Smoke Damage

Fire damage restoration for Coral Springs office buildings requires an understanding of the behaviors of smoke damage and what to expect for post-fire recovery and cleanup. Soot and smoke damage spread quickly, and when combined with residues or effects of extinguishment methods, several areas could be heavily damaged like:

• Electronics
• Furniture
• Carpeting
• Wall Systems
• Artwork

Fire Extinguisher Residues

Sodium and potassium bicarbonates are both common types of extinguishment compounds and require specific cleaning products and practices to remove. Ammonia-based products can allow for wipe cleaning on these chemical compounds after loose debris is managed with vacuuming or brushing.

Water Damage from Sprinkler Systems

Sprinkler systems are common installations to attempt to quell a spreading fire quickly. While only the affected areas have sprinkler heads activated, each installed point can generate 20-40 gallons of water per minute. Because these mechanisms require manual shutdown, offices can be overwhelmed with water damage as well as fire damage. We have effective extraction and drying equipment to manage these conditions where necessary.

While you can appreciate the immense assistance provided by extinguishment and suppression systems during a fire, there are residues and films left behind. Our SERVPRO of West Coral Springs / West Parkland team can help with efficient surface cleaning and restoration. Call our experienced team today at (954) 973-4130.
