How Can Danbury Homeowners Save on Fire Restoration Cost with SERVPRO? 

Hiring a professional fire restoration service like SERVPRO at your Danbury property can reduce the cost of a fire damage claim. Cleaning and restoration of the fire damage usually cost only a fraction of replacing or resurfacing. SERVPRO techs apply the principles and elements of cleaning to restore the material to a condition "Like it never even happened." 

SERVPRO techs use various methods and tools to capture and remove smoke and soot residue during fire restoration of your Danbury home. Technicians use a vacuum to remove smoke residues that contain dry carbon particles. However, soils that are not loose particles must be dissolved before techs can remove them. Depending on the nature of the soil, SERVPRO techs use either water-based or oil-based cleaning agents. 

How does SERVPRO Techs Decide Which Cleaning Product to Use During House Fire Cleanup in Danbury? 

The soot particles formed after smoke damage to your Danbury home can be hydrophilic (easily dissolves in water) or lipophilic (easily dissolves in oil-based solvent). SERVPRO techs use a variety of cleaning products to remove them. The basic principle that guides the choice of a cleaning product is "like dissolves like." 

Lipophilic soils are more difficult to remove than hydrophilic ones. SERVPRO techs use two types of cleaning solutions to eliminate such soils-

• Water-based cleaning agents: The detergents in these cleaning agents can emulsify the oily soils and make the oil particles disperse in the water for easy removal. However, restorers can't use detergent-based solvents with hard water as they form a scum with calcium and magnesium salts present in the hard water. 
• Solvent-based cleaning agents: SERVPRO only uses OSHA and EPA-approved solvent-based cleaning products. Solvent-based can easily dissolve lipophilic soils but can also damage surfaces.
