First and foremost, there is one point that has to be made clear: repair of fire damage to carpeting is a job for trained and properly equipped professionals. This is not because such work is merely difficult, it is potentially hazardous.
In a fire event, carpeting will be subject not only from water contamination but chemical contamination as well from the smoke and soot. There are no simple, do-it-yourself techniques that will adequately clean and decontaminate fire-damaged carpeting. Burning material releases a substantial amount of toxic particulates into the atmosphere within the structure that become concentrated within a confined space, permeating every surface.
Smoke And Soot Clearance
Carpeting that has burned outright is beyond salvage, of course, and must be immediately removed. What remains that can be saved by professional Fire Damage Restoration Services in Beaver County PA must be cleaned and treated with industry-standard equipment to effect the complete removal of soot. The particulate material becomes deeply embedded into the fibers of the carpet, blackening and contaminating it.
Once free-circulating smoke and soot have been extracted from a fire-damaged room by powerful vacuum equipment, the next step is to employ special tools to the deep-clean-down of carpeting. Rotary scrubbers and steam-injection extractors may be applied several times as necessary to both clean up soot particles while also preventing deeper infiltration. Soot ends up becoming a dirt magnet, and remains a continuing source of toxic hazard.
Completing The Cleanup
As each room section is cleared, the technicians will completely cover all carpeting and furniture in those areas to prevent further contamination while they proceed with cleanup and restoration in the rest of the structure. When soot removal has been completely effected, a follow-up cleaning will then be carried out. Additionally, matching carpet material to replace those sections of the carpeting that were beyond remediation is laid down.
