Commercial Fire Cleanup Revitalizes Staunton Businesses
Business owners can feel overwhelmed after a fire, even in industries where small fires frequently happen, like restaurants. However, fast-responding restoration is a must for keeping many Staunton businesses' doors open after disaster strikes. Fire suppression has its issues, including potential water damage and mold growth, that property owners need removed from their facilities.
SERVPRO fire restoration can restore Staunton businesses to a safe, sanitary, and operational condition that is comfortable for employees and customers alike. Commercial mitigation focuses on reducing downtime and replacement needs for business assets while adhering to local regulations and insurance policies.
Removing soot from common surfaces found in commercial facilities
Many commercial facilities feature a diverse array of structural materials requiring different care types during restoration. In a restaurant, for example:
- If the fire occurred in the kitchen, ceramic tile floors are often restorable because their glazes are naturally resistant to smoke damage. Unglazed tiles and unsealed grout, however, can absorb soot. SERVPRO has specialized cleaners for grout, masonry, and tiles with acids that cut through soot while preserving these materials. Industrial cleaners are often used to restore items like grease traps and range hoods
- A fire in the dining area of a restaurant can leave carpeting and wall coverings needing delicate restoration. Wallpapers can often be restored, even those made of paper, with the help of tools like dry cleaning sponges. Gentle wall rinses are recommended for nonporous wall coverings like vinyl
- Meanwhile, restrooms affected by fire may require alkaline cleaners on appliances like sinks and toilets for heavier cleanup needs. Light, dry soils on these items may only need gentle dry cleaning with Masslinn cloth or dry cleaning sponges
