SERVPRO Offers Fire Restoration to Syracuse Homes after Any Size Disaster

A fire incident leaves different kinds of residue on your property, some easier to clean than others. Cleaning oily residues during fire restoration of your Syracuse home can be quite a challenge. SERVPRO techs use their knowledge of chemistry to deal with such residues. 

SERVPRO techs eliminate the oily residue during fire restoration of your Syracuse home by two methods- emulsification or dissolution. If the oily residues are light, SERVPRO technicians often emulsify them into water-based detergents. However, for heavier residues, dissolution is often the only option. Oil-based solvents can dissolve even the heavier oily residue during house fire cleanup. 

How Does SERVPRO Deal with Oily Residue during Fire Damage Restoration in Syracuse? 

SERVPRO techs use the following methods for cleaning oily residue from your Syracuse home-

• Emulsification with a detergent- A detergent molecule has a water-loving (head) and an oil-loving (tail) part. The molecule's tail breaks the oily residues apart, and the head pulls them into the water forming a mixture called an emulsion within the cleaning solution. The cleaning solution can then be rinsed out along with the emulsified residue during the fire restoration. 
• Dissolving with solvents- Non-aqueous solvents can dissolve heavy, oily residues. SERVPRO uses only OSHA and EPA-approved solvents during fire and smoke damage restoration. The solvents dissolve the residue and carry them away. SERVPRO techs are aware of the damage that solvents can cause to the surface and use all the proper precautions while using this method.
