Colburn, IN, is a small, unincorporated census-designated place with a population of less than two hundred. The city was founded in 1858 by Jacob H. Chapman and was called Chapmanville for a few years. The city is located within one of the historic pieces of land in Indiana.

Nearby communities like Delphi, Lafayette, and Battle Ground provide employment opportunities and educational facilities to people in the community. The locality was home to one of the oldest post offices in the area, established in 1860, but it was discontinued in 1988.

Cleaning Smoke and Soot

Cleaning the smoke and soot residues is the most important aspect of fire damage restoration. The longer the soot particles sit on the surfaces, the more difficult it becomes to remove them. SERVPRO techs use dry and wet cleaning methods to loosen the bonds between the soils and surfaces.  

While dry cleaning with brushes and scrubs can remove loose and dry particles, sticky residues are more difficult to remove. SERVPRO techs use wet-cleaning methods to remove such particles.

We use the following three techniques when wet-cleaning soot-covered surfaces:

• Spray and wipe technique: As the name suggests, the techs spray cleaning liquid directly over the surface and wipe it away using a cloth towel.
• Foam technique: If the surfaces are moisture sensitive, techs use foam or cleaning agents to loosen the bonds between the soot and surfaces.
• Immersion technique: It is reserved for pieces of content not damaged by a cleaning agent and can be saturated with it.

Air Moving Equipment in Water Restoration

Air-moving equipment is crucial in drying wet materials after water damage to your property. SERVPRO techs use two types of air movers-centrifugal and axial depending on the area to be dried. 

While the city of Colburn, IN, is small, there is much to do around it. The Riehle Plaza & John Myers Pedestrian Bridge is one of the top tourist attractions near the city. The Tippecanoe Battlefield Historical Museum is also a few minutes away.
