Plainview, NY Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Responding quickly to emergencies like fire losses can protect Plainview homes and businesses from more significant damages. As a preferred vendor for local insurance providers, we are often aware of post-fire cleaning and restoration needs before customers reach out. This is even more vital when considering large industrial and commercial parks throughout the city, totaling more than 330 acres. Our SERVPRO of Hicksville / Plainview team stays prepared to mobilize for mitigation and emergency services with experienced technicians and general contractors.

Cleaning Soot from Surfaces 

The removal of soot is one of the most substantial obstacles for our SERVPRO professionals upon arrival, as this can be a hazard to those exposed. While this can be concerning in a single-family home, it can be even more problematic with the traffic of structures like Plainview Hospital and Farmingdale State College nearby. We have multiple tactics for removing soils from surfaces and contents in-house, and some of these include: 

  • Dry Vacuuming
  • Solvents
  • Detergents
  • Abrasive Cleaning
  • Agitative Cleaning
  • Controlled Demolition

Neutralizing Harsh Odors  

Removing odors from the house after a fire loss can be another hurdle for professionals, and we have multiple tools to help accomplish this. Thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators can begin neutralizing odors in facilities without requiring others to vacate the area. These tools can be beneficial for large manufacturing structures like the headquarters for Veeco and Aeroflex.
