The First 48

8/28/2024 (Permalink)

Fires come in all shapes and sizes. At SERVPRO of Austin & Albert Lea, we see all kinds of fires. The most common are kitchen fires and electrical fires. The first 48 hours following a fire are crucial and can make a vast difference between being able to restore items and valuables and having to replace them. We ensure rapid response to your emergencies to provide timely mitigation and prevent further damage from corrosive soot particles. When soot settles on structures and personal items it can be very caustic and harmful. Wiping soot can often set the soot in and make it even more difficult to remove and deodorize. At SERVPRO of Austin and Albert Lea, our technicians have undergone special IICRC training to ensure we use exactly the right equipment for the designated area. Specialty cleaning equipment is used for removing surface debris and deodorizing the soot smell. Delicate items can be cleaned using our ultrasonic machine, where they are submerged in a cleaning solution that uses tiny ultrasonic sound waves to free built-up grime, soot, dirt, or other impurities from the affected contents. We are prepared for anything, and here for you. We are ready to use these specialized tools to help our customers make it "Like it never even happened."
