Amityville your fire damage needs SERVPRO’s tools and reliability.

SERVPRO has the time trained and tools to properly handle your Amityville fire damage.

After a fire gets extinguished in Amityville homes, the work of a professional restorer begins. Through careful inspection and scoping of the present damage in the property, our SERVPRO team can determine the most efficient and cost-effective approaches to restore and recover nearly every damaged area in the house. We even have an in-house team of licensed general contractors that can work on controlled demolition, full-scale reconstruction, and other emergency services that your damaged home needs.

Lingering odors can be one of the most challenging and stubborn fire damages in Amityville properties, especially if these effects have infiltrated porous surfaces like fabrics and drywall. Even without structural concerns, the existence of heavier saturation of smoke odors can be a struggle for our sophisticated tools to reach and neutralize. Choosing the right equipment is vital to eliminate smoke and charring odors permanently.

Ozone Generator

A portable version of our ozone chamber is one of the most versatile deodorization tools available to our SERVPRO professionals. These units create an unstable gas that contains three oxygen molecules (ozone.) This gas reacts with odor compounds by bonding with them and neutralizing it on contact. The production and presence of ozone are hazardous to living creatures, however, so the unit runs for a designated time and then has a chance to air out before our technicians return.

Hydroxyl Machine / Photocatalytic Oxidizer 

Ultraviolet rays are another effective method for cleaning and deodorizing an environment. These machines use UV rays to generate hydroxyl radicals, which can break down existing foul odors in the area to a combination of carbon dioxide and water. This unit can treat a larger affected area with the appropriate containment barriers.

Air Scrubber 

Often one of the most effective strategies for reducing the severity of odors after fires get extinguished is to filter the air in the damaged zones. Air scrubbers, and any other filtration equipment, pull dirty air through a HEPA filter in the machine to begin trapping particles, debris, and ash circulating in the room.

Fire odors can be a challenge to overcome, but our SERVPRO of Amityville / Lindenhurst team can help. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster, and you can reach us 24/7 at (631) 319-1680.
