SERVPRO Focuses on Creating Order During Restoration Since It Improves Outcomes

One of the reasons for doing repairs after a fire at your Gaithersburg business premises is to restore order allowing you to continue with your normal daily operations. The restoration process also needs to be orderly. Otherwise, it might become a hindrance rather than a solution to pressing problems.

Running fire damage restoration at your Gaithersburg property in an orderly manner can be easier said than done since many factors go against expectations. Issues can range from minor ones such as employees and customers spreading soot, ash, and other fine residues from affected areas to the rest of the property. They can also be complicated, such as customers demanding service while restoration of your premises is still underway. SERVPRO’s expertise in organizing property disaster sites resolves many of these issues with ease.

Organizing a fire loss site can take different procedures, including:

• Sealing off some areas to limit access
• Storing waste materials safely
• Using friendly cleaning techniques

Limiting access after a fire at your premises is crucial from a management perspective. When the fire only affects a section of the premises, you may want to keep the unaffected sections accessible, especially if you have a membership-based business such as a gym where members pay in advance. Sealing off the affected areas helps keep from venturing in and spreading residues. It also contains dust and odors allowing them to continue using the rest of the facility safely. An airtight barrier is necessary, and our SERVPRO technicians can help create one quickly with plastic sheets and spring-loaded metal rods.

Cleaning is essential in resolving fire damage. Disturbing materials is inevitable during cleaning. However, the level of disturbance depends on the methods used. SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians evaluate the damage or level of soiling and choose convenient methods. For instance, vacuuming surfaces removes loose soils conveniently without spreading them around the property. Other methods such as soda blasting limit the need for demolition while removing soils from areas such as unfinished surfaces.
