SERVPRO Laundry Room Fire Cleanup Services

Kitchens are not the only area of a Wayne property vulnerable to fire. Ignition can happen anywhere and anytime, even in a home's laundry room. Electrical failures–one of the most likely causes of laundry room fires–can be exacerbated by the presence of dust, prolonged use of extension cables, and malfunctioning dryer parts.

SERVPRO fire restoration specialists return Wayne properties to a pre-fire condition 24 hours a day, even during holidays and weekends. Emergency responsiveness is necessary to preserve as much as possible after a home fire.

Restoring Fire Damaged Laundry Room with SERVPRO Tools and Techniques

SERVPRO fire cleanup strategies may include:

• Drying any residual water damage from fire suppression with extractors, air movers, and dehumidifiers
• Removing light soot from appliances and structural surfaces with dry cleaning sponges and EPA-registered detergents
• Preserving clothing and other salvageable fibers with the help of compressed air, odor counteractants, and thermal fogging.
• Demolishing unsalvageable flooring, baseboards, and damaged drywall to implement structural repairs
• Using heavy-duty solutions and abrasion cleaning on charring and hard-to-remove soils where appropriate

Tile flooring is often salvageable after a fire, but grout may require repairs if not sealed thoroughly. Technicians can also establish negative air pressure with HEPA-filter air scrubbers to trap soot in contained areas. These particles are collected with commercial-grade vacuums that feature HEPA filters, which can catch particles as minute as 0.3 microns.

Ductwork also requires cleaning in many cases after a fire. Flex ducts used for dryer ventilation or HVAC typically need replacement. In contrast, duct board and sheet metal are more likely to be restorable with the help of ultra-low volume foggers, agitation tools, and OSHA-approved antimicrobials.
