Mine Hill Cleanup and Restoration

Fire Damage and Water Damage in Mine Hill

Fishing and hiking at Hedden Park can help keep you active and fit. Staying in shape is crucial for good health, as is living and working in a clean environment, free of contaminants. After your Mine Hill property sustains fire damage or water damage, the powerful combination of different techniques quickly restores everything “Like it never even happened.” 

The Mine Hill Fire Department was established in 1923 and provides fire safety and prevention and investigates burns and fire code enforcement. Our Fire Marshal is local and always available with any questions or concerns.

We Clean before We Deodorize in Mine Hill

The concern with materials affected by water involves possible microbes or pests that newly created moist conditions attract. Our IICRC-certified technicians take care of these situations by cleaning the affected materials and addressing the substances that make the odors. When odors reach your nose, you can count on these things to have happened:

• Something in your property has decomposed (this includes nonliving things),
• The substance causing the odor has entered the air, including your ventilation system, and
• The origin might come from one substance or several.

Water damage can create a highly favorable environment for microbes, including pathogens, bacteria, and protozoa. These living things produce waste, which can create other foul odors. 

Other Sources of Nuisance Odors Exist

Disintegration caused by dampness is not the only source of unwanted scents. Smoke from fire damage contains an assortment of volatile chemicals. Fire can cause different bad odors, including: 

• Acrid odors from burnt plastics and other synthetics, 
• Musty odors from water evaporating, and 
• Metallic scents that occur because of rusting hardware and fixtures.    

Rusting happens because of the steam produced when cold water touches hot, burning things. It is not good to breathe smoke during a fire; this advice remains valid afterward. 

Your nose knows that such situations are not healthy. Breathing the fresh air of the Dickerson Mine Preserve’s 280 acres can provide you and others around you with a refreshing experience after either type of damage occurs. Contact our First Aid Squad, established in 1960, for your protection.
