How Can Items Get Restored from Commercial Fire Damage? 

When SERVPRO technicians handle the restoration services after commercial fire damage in a Bristol business property, their goal is to get the company back to regular operations as soon as possible. Through the use of their proprietary cleaning agents and specialized methods, the techs lift away both dry smoke and wet smoke from non-porous items, saving the business owner the cost of replacement.  

Other frequently seen actions during fire cleanup are:   

• Removal of charred items
• Relocation of undamaged contents off-site
• Removal of restorable items to cleaning stations
• Temporary repairs such as tarping a roof
• Security measures to keep unauthorized persons out of the work-site
• Inspection of the ductwork and cleaning if needed 

Odor control measures are a large part of the mitigation process. During the restoration services, SERVPRO techs run air scrubbers to assist in capturing airborne odorous soot particles. They also have a diverse array of applications to neutralize any remaining fire odors before the business reopens such as:   

• Hydroxyl generators
• Thermal fogging   
• Time-release gel pellets
