Fire Damaged properties we service:

Secondary Damage

Soot

The soot created by a fire is usually highly acidic and will cause corrosion on almost all surfaces it is allowed to settle on. If left for extended periods of time this corrosion may lead to catastrophic structural issues on the property. Rendering it uninhabitable and potentially unsalvageable. Quickly hiring a fire cleaning service to respond in Middlesex will mitigate the risk of this happening. HEPA filter technology will be used to safely remove the soot from the affected surfaces, whilst ensuring no particles are able to escape back into the air.

Ash

Ash is another potentially harmful substances generated by fires. It usually contains a combination of arsenic, lead, mercury and more toxic substances. If exposed to these harmful substances you can suffer sever health issues and if the exposure is extended you may suffer neurological damages as well as potentially cancer. The risks that come as a result of ash exposure are extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Our expert technicians are fully equipped with the PPE and cleaning equipment necessary to safely and efficiently remove all harmful substances from your property after a fire.

Smoke Damage

After a fire, the lingering odour can be enough to prevent the building from being habitable, even once the clean-up is complete. If not treated correctly, fire smoke odour can remain in a building for an indefinite amount of time; becoming trapped behind walls, in cavities and embedded into the fabric of the building and upholstery.

Smoke residue is also corrosive, meaning it will begin to eat away at surfaces if left for an extended period of time. During a fire the pores of surfaces open up due to high temperatures, allowing the smoke particles to penetrate deeper. It is important your hire an expert fire damage Middlesex provider to fully remove any particles left after a fire, in order to avoid lingering odour and potential structural issues.

BioSweep

We are the exclusive suppliers of the industry-leading technology Biosweep. Biosweep is unrivalled for its performance in neutralising odours and its effectiveness can mitigate the need for otherwise extensive cleaning and/or strip-outs and replacements. After a BioSweep cleaning cycle the unpleasant odours in the property will be completely removed whilst also cleaning the air of any bacteria, pathogens and other potentially damaging particles.

Industry Leading Technology

HEPA Filters

The use of HEPA filter technology ensures that no soot or ash particles can escape during the removal process. By using HEPA filters during the fire cleaning Middlesex process it makes it more efficient and far more effective. If this technology isn’t used and small particles escaped it would mean the technicians would have to do multiple cleaning sweeps of the area to make sure everything has been removed. Another scenario that is quite likely, is the potentially harmful particles escaping and being left behind. HEPA filters remove this risk entirely, protecting your health and your property.
