Badwin, NY Fire Damage Service Resource
We cannot salvage materials those are burnt to ash, are charred, melted, and distorted. However, things which are just a bit scorched, covered in soot and are with a smell of fire can be recovered into a shape, although full salvaging may not be possible. The expert assistance will come from the fire brigade which is there in the scene helping you control of the fire damage before you start with the restoration of the fire damage. Their experience covers buildings and materials at different levels of charring.
Salvaging time is irreversible, and so it is best to attend such types of items immediately after the fire. Apart from restoration of antique pieces, there is some danger from short-circuiting after the fire. These have fatal potentialities. Toxic materials may have been formed, and insulated pipes have been exposed with protective asbestos gone. If you don’t have the experience to handle it before, it is wise to call the fire brigade department to check the building in this regard.
Documents can be with soot, which require cleaning. Some may be scorched, not burnt, but will be brittle. We can use heavy cardboard while handling these. Some other documents may be burnt out, but information can be recovered in full after cleaning. These are labeled as level 1, 2 3 and 4. Level 5 documents are of course burnt to the extent that nothing can be recovered.
There are things which look unaffected, can be totally damaged. Plastic adhesives, textbooks and films and tapes inside containers can be of no further use although there will be no apparent damage to the substances.
Floor can be broken, with timbers burnt, soot and water creating a slush, which may create further damage. No matter how disorganized these may look, one should start from the periphery to sort out each and every material, without any lifting from the midst of the slush which may damage some adjacent materials. You can collect aluminum pans to put through large collection of materials which can be sorted out later on.
HEPA vacuums remove the dry soot and leftovers of extinguishers. Ventilation to the building can be essential, because it will do away with the smell of smokes. Encourage use of gloves, goggles and boots and at times the respirators. Safety of personals recovering the damaged materials has to be premium and should be at par with OSHA requirements.
In a process of fire damage restoration the soot and smoke built loosely around latex paint, blown ceilings and soft surface tiles can be done by dry cleaning sponges (made up of natural rubber), as there will be liquid debris that may flow as broken materials are removed from the way. It is good to be systematic with top to bottom in parallel lines. That saves a lot of time because repetitions can be avoided and neat work can be done. But the particles left behind by dry cleaning sponges can be vacuumed up after the initial cleaning.
Use regular sponge with detergent to cut the grease, caused by oil-based paint, acrylic paint, and vinyl wallpaper. There are many types of kitchen detergents, and the best one recommended is Pine cleaners. Apart from these, there are also commercial items to remove soot in a process of fire damage restoration, but may be harsher to clean just kitchen grease, but advisable for limited use because it will make the process quicker.
