Pomfret Cleanup and Restoration

Fire and Water Damage Restoration for Historied Pomfret Properties

Professional Mitigation Services Preserve Historic Properties and New Builds Alike

Pomfret, Maryland, is an unincorporated community in Charles County. It is historically significant, with landmarks like St. Joseph's Catholic Church and multiple historic homes dating back to the 17th century. Pomfret is considered part of the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan statistical area and is home to the College of Southern Maryland's La Plata campus.

Several historic homes in Pomfret are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including:

• Acquinsicke, which was established on a 1,000-acre tract originally granted to Jerome White in 1669. Acquired and renamed by Anthony Neale in 1704, the property exemplifies late 18th-century Federal architecture. Neale's descendants maintained the estate, which included a mission chapel for local Catholics. The house features a two-story, clapboarded frame construction with terraced landscaping.
• Pleasant Hill, which was initially part of Green's Inheritance. John Spalding purchased 200 acres in 1713, and his grandson Basil Spalding built the home in phases starting in the 1760s. Over the centuries, the structure evolved from a simple two-room dwelling to a more complex house with additional rooms and porches. Pleasant Hill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

Fire Damage and Soot Cleanup Process for Dry Smoke

SERVPRO® technicians use several high-end tools to address smoke residues after fire damage, including:

• High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) vacuums remove fine soot particles from surfaces without spreading them.
• Chemical sponges lift dry smoke residues from walls and ceilings without smearing.
• Air scrubbers with HEPA filters capture airborne soot particles to improve indoor air quality.

SERVPRO can also excise excess moisture from fire suppression before soot cleanup procedures.

Expert Water Damage Restoration Services for Hardwood Flooring 

Professional water cleanup procedures for hardwood flooring, especially in historic homes, take care to preserve the property as much as possible. Tools utilized may include:

• Suction pads to remove standing water from the wood’s surface by creating a vacuum seal that lifts water out of the pores.
• Air movement and dehumidification, which circulate air and remove moisture from the wood.

Monitoring tools like water sensors and infrared cameras, which test surfaces and ensure the wood dries to an appropriate moisture level.
