Chemicals Used During Fire Restoration

Some smoke and soot residues generated after fire damage to your home can be difficult to clean by agitation or detergents alone. SERVPRO technicians use chemicals to alter the chemical nature of the residues in such situations. The chemicals used include-

• Enzymes
• Bleaches
• Oxidizers  
• Acids

SERVPRO technicians only use EPS-approved cleaning agents during restoration and pretest the surfaces before using them. The cleaning agents change or modify the chemical structure of the soil so that it becomes more water soluble and can be rinsed off easily. 

Chemical Agents in Water Restoration 

SERVPRO technicians use chemical agents during water damage restoration if contamination is present. We use several agents to eliminate the microbes or prevent their growth on various surfaces exposed to water. 

Some of the most common agents we use are:

• Antimicrobials - Chemicals that prevent the development or limit or stop microbial growth
• Disinfectants - Destroy about 99% of microbes they contact 
• Sanitizers - Decrease the number of microbes to an acceptable level
• Sporicides - Used to control bacterial or fungal spores 

SERVPRO only uses EPA-approved agents during water restoration. 

From The Etchberger Memorial Park and the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum to the Reading Co. Technical and Historical Society, there is a lot to see in this town of about four thousand.
