Fast Action is Critical to Protecting Your Everett Business from Greater Harm After a Fire

Fires are urgent emergencies that leave your restaurant or business vulnerable to increasingly worse conditions until mitigation and restoration services begin. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster, and we can show that when these disasters threaten your livelihood.

Initial Containment Solutions

Starting fire restoration in Everett businesses means isolating the damaged portions of the restaurant to allow mitigation and recovery to be streamlined and more productive. Plastic sheeting over structural openings, boarding, tarping, and air filtration equipment can often work together to designate the workspace, keeping unaffected areas operational. 

Dislodging Soils Before Surface Cleaning

Removing soils from fire damaged surfaces involves several steps. The first, and arguably most important, is releasing the bulk of the debris and particles resting on the material. Depending on the degree of the damage, this might take several different types of mechanical actions, which include:

• Mild Agitation – the actions needed for gentle agitation are safe for most surfaces. These actions are necessary to remove light damage, where devices like vacuums and feather dusters can be effective.
  

• Medium Agitation – Medium agitation involves more complex cleaning implements such as crumbly cleaner, which self-destructs as it pulls harsh soils from sensitive substrates. These cleaners can help with protein residues common after kitchen fires in restaurants. 
  

• Heavy Agitation – heavy agitation practices are for extreme or overwhelming soot presences. These types of abrasive cleaning involve blasting, standing, steel wool, or the application of abrasive powders.

Is Demolition Always Needed? 

Fire damage does not always require management to seek build-back services, but when it is needed, our general contractor license can be a considerable aid. By completing repairs and reinstallation in-house, we save customers time and money. Employees can get back to regular operation more quickly.
