Structural Cleaning: After a smoke or fire damage, ceilings, walls, woodwork, carpeting and floors will often need cleaning. A pretest will occur to determine the extent of damage, and then use the specific equipment and cleaning products required. Depending on the amount of soot, we may be able to reduce the cost of recovery. 

Contents Cleaning: All the restorable contents in affected areas will be professionally cleaned and deodorized. Careful inspection and testing of all fabrics and contents will occur to ensure proper cleaning and deodorizing methods are used to restore to preloss condition. 

Deodorization

We provide specialized services that rid your structure of odors left by fire or smoke damage. We don't simply cover the lingering odor with fragrance, we seek out the source of the odor and remove it. 

Day 5 of Hurricane Prep Week is about getting your home ready. If you plan to ride out the storm in your home, make sure it is in good repair and up to local hurricane building code specifications. Many retrofits are not as costly or time consuming as you may think. Have the proper plywood, steel or aluminum panels to board up the windows and doors. Remember, the garage door is the most vulnerable part of the home, so it must be able to withstand the winds. Trim your trees to prevent damage from snapped branches and board up your windows to protect them from flying debris.

Day 4 of Hurricane Prep Week is about having an evacuation plan. You should plan your route and have an alternate route in case the first one is not accessible.  You may have to evacuate quickly, so you should practice with your household and your pets. You should also remember that you may not have to drive hundreds of miles to evacuate, only far enough away from the evacuation area.

Day 3 of Hurricane Prep Week is about reviewing your insurance. Look at your policies ahead of time to see what's covered and if flood insurance is available to you since it's the leading cause of damage from tropical systems. The best time to prepare for a hurricane is before hurricane season begins on June 1. It is vital to understand your home's vulnerability to storm surge, flooding, and wind. For more insurance tips visit https://www.weather.gov/safety/hurricane-plan

Day 2 of Hurricane Prep Week is about having an emergency kit ready at work, in your car, and at home. This could include a backpack, water, non-perishable food, a blanket, etc. The best place to store the kit is somewhere that you will go to take shelter. To learn more about what to put in your kit visit https://www.weather.gov/owlie/emergencysupplieskit

Create an emergency ready plan for your family that includes emergency meeting places in your home, neighborhood and outside your neighborhood. Make copies of your Plan for each member of the household to carry in his or her wallet, backpack or purse. You should also post a copy in a central place at home. Make one at https://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/2021-04/family-emergency-communication-plan.pdf

As you can see in this photo, a property had flooded due to a recent storm event. SERVPRO of Pewaukee and Sussex set up a drying chamber around the wood paneling and the drywall that was behind it.  When you need to isolate a certain area for drying treatment, then this is where drying chambers come into play. They allow you to manipulate the humidity, airflow, and temperature. The affected area becomes limited to external, environmental factors due to the polyethylene barrier that surrounds it. 

Extraction is a critical step to removing moisture from a structure. The more excess water that restorers remove with extraction equipment, the less time they will spend to evaporate and dehumidify the remaining moisture with drying equipment.

Building containments is a crucial part of our restoration, remediation, and abatements projects. We often create containments to create control.

• Control over the drying time, especially in reducing it. 
• Control over the air quality if mold or other pathogens are present.
• Control demolition dust and particles and prevent their spread throughout the property.

They are constructed from poly-sheeting, professional tape, and zippers. All material is CDC approved and highly durable. 

Having containment present- if needed- is a critical step in drying your water damage or keeping you and the persons at the property safe!

Fire damages create many different cleaning challenges. A burning building is actually many complicated reactions between various elements, including the following:

• the type of material burning
• the amount of heat, oxygen and moisture content
• air flow patterns in the building
• types of smoke residues present 
• the types of surfaces impacted by smoke and heat

Depending on how these elements interact as a fire progresses, fire damages can present extremely different cleaning and restoration situations depending on how these elements interact as the fire progresses

Thermal imaging cameras (also called infrared cameras) are utilized for inspecting and monitoring moisture in building materials. At the beginning of a water project, they provide a fast evaluation of the extent of moisture. They can show how water traveled throughout a structure, and many times they can indicate moisture that otherwise may have never been discovered. At the end of the project, they provide excellent documentation or proof that drying was successfully completed. Technically, thermal cameras do not display moisture images, but rather infrared images.

If you have a water damage, call SERVPRO of Pewaukee & Sussex at 262.696.6336.
