Elements of Cleaning During Fire Cleanup
Cleaning up after fire damage involves a systematic approach, relying on four key elements- temperature, agitation, chemical action, and time- to effectively remove residues. Often abbreviated as TACT, our techs use these elements to restore fire damage “Like it never even happened.”
- Temperature contributes to the increase in the rate of chemical reactions within cleaning products. SERVPRO technicians control the temperature depending on the cleaning solution used and the items that need to be cleaned.
- Agitation weakens the bonds between the residue and the surface. Technicians use tools such as towels, brushes, or even ultrasonic machines to provide the necessary agitation.
- Chemical action entails using professional cleaning products to break the soil-surface bonds effectively. Depending on the type of residue and the required result, the technicians may use dissolvers, emulsifiers, bleaching agents, oxidants, acidity/alkalinity modifiers, or biodegradation products.
- Time is the final element, referring to the dwell time required for cleaning and deodorization products to work effectively. The duration varies depending on the product used and the nature of the residues.
SERVPRO techs strive to restore your homes to the preloss state by carefully balancing these four elements.
Agitation Equipment Used to Remove Smoke and Soot
In the agitation step of fire damage cleaning, techs utilize different tools to remove residues. Some of these include:
- Wiping cloths: Techs use them to wipe surfaces
- Brushes and scrubbers: Used to scrub surfaces and remove stubborn smoke and soot particles.
- Ultrasonic machines: Use sound waves to clean small, complicated objects.
