Tackling Smoke Damage After a Warehouse Fire: A Comprehensive Approach
When disaster strikes, it leaves behind a trail of destruction, and the aftermath of a fire is particularly challenging. In the realm of property damage, the trifecta of fire, soot, and smoke leave behind deep imprints on property. In this case, warehouse one became the epicenter of a fire that quickly spread, affecting not only its premises but also two adjacent warehouses. The gravity of the situation was further compounded by the extensive contents within each of the properties, adding layers of complexity to the restoration process.
The Challenge:
The fire originated in warehouse one, causing damage to the entire property and extending to two additional warehouses. One of the challenges faced by Steamatic was the significant volume of contents belonging to the warehouse tenant, which needed to be removed before the restoration work could proceed.
Solution Provided:
In the face of such adversity, Steamatic rose to the occasion with a comprehensive solution. Recognising the depth of the damage, the team implemented a meticulous plan that included a full structural clean that not only encompassed the visible surfaces such as walls and flooring but also extended to the exposed internal roof framing.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, Steamatic’s experts tackled the removal of soot and smoke residues with precision. The fixed landlord’s contents, a crucial aspect of the restoration, were given special attention to ensure a thorough and effective cleaning process.
The restoration process involved eradicated the visible signs of damage but also addressed the lingering effects of smoke, which can seep into materials and compromise air quality. Steamatic’s approach went beyond surface cleaning, providing a holistic solution to the pervasive problem of smoke damage.
