SERVPRO Cleans Oily Soils and Residues in Middletown Kitchens After Fires

One of the emergencies that could impact your restaurants, especially during busy times of the day, is a grease fire. These accidents create formidable soil deposits on nearby surfaces that require unique approaches to remove. Impacted surfaces can include:

• Counters
• Floors
• Shelving
• Ceiling tiles
• Drywall

Effective Containment Solutions 

The first step in any kitchen fire restoration for Middletown restaurants is containing the effects. Fire losses spread fast through the structure, and the more areas of your restaurant that become impacted, the more costly and lengthy the respective restoration becomes. Physical containment barriers prevent the movement of smoke and soot particles to new areas of the structure, allowing a faster and more efficient fire restoration process.

Breaking Down Oily Soils

Grease and protein fires produce a thick, oily residue on surfaces. Removing these deposits is challenging, as stronger chemical solvents are necessary to break down the grease without ruining the underlying affected substrate. SERVPRO professionals carefully consider the products used, including any lingering effects that could impact food preparation.

Improving Indoor Air Quality

Safe working conditions are a focal point for most employers, and this can be a challenge after a fire with the circulating soot particles and carcinogens. Placing HEPA air scrubbers throughout the work area eliminates hazardous particles from the environment. This equipment provides a safer space if work can resume, but it also helps reduce harsh odors. 

Cleaning Appliances After Fires 

Appliances are often impacted by even the thick residues of a grease-based fire; however, the inside of ovens and more intricate places to clean are less impacted or involved. Surface elements, such as ranges and the face of stoves or other necessary appliances within your kitchen can be directly threatened by residues. In addition to removing the soil deposits, stainless steel cleaners and other products are required to restore the original appearance.
