SERVPRO Technicians are Fast to Respond After Fire Damage at Your Mount Vernon Home

Fire damage at your Mount Vernon home can cause smoke and soot to deposit on the contents, including your expensive appliances. If you delay the restoration process, it can cause irreparable damage. SERVPRO technicians have expertise in restoring appliances after a fire incident "Like it never even happened."

The residue left on appliances after fire damage to your Mount Vernon home can be difficult to remove. SERVPRO technicians use wet cleaning agents and polishing agents to clean these surfaces in fire-damaged homes.

SERVPRO technicians understand the chemistry of these surfaces and use various cleaning agents and techniques that are most effective for the surface involved. 

How SERVPRO technicians clean appliances during the house fire cleanup of your Mount Vernon home? 

Cleaning appliances after fire damage to your Mount Vernon home requires patience, expertise, and the right technique. SERVPRO restorers use the following methods during the fire restoration process- 

• Use Water-based Detergents- SERVPRO technicians use these cleaners if the smoke damage is mild and mostly consists of dry residue. Abrasive foam pads are often used to dislodge the particles while using these agents. 
• Use Alkaline Cleaners- If the residue after a fire and smoke damage is heavy and greasy, it requires aggressive cleaning agents. The high pH of these agents (pH = 13) helps to cut through the greasy residue and speed up the cleaning process. 
• Use Abrasive Cleaners- Technicians use these agents when the heat from fire damage has caused yellowing of the surface. The abrasive agents can gently scrub the surface, removing any stains in the process.
