What Factors Might Impact Smoke Removal? 

Fire damage restoration for Largo businesses like warehouses and manufacturing facilities can require several types of cleaning and restoration approaches. From the large open areas to stored stock and inventory, the spread and severity of smoke damages can significantly affect a structure immediately following a fire. Some of the factors that determine the type of soil or smoke damage left behind include:

• Age of Materials – The older specific building materials are, the harder they will be to clean. While a warehouse might be made of many non-porous materials, those susceptible to fire damage are even more prone to harm if they are older.

• Heat of the Fire – Even with the basic construction materials common to the smaller rooms and offices of the warehouse, the higher the heat, the greater the effects like charring or melting. 

• Humidity – The moisture content of the property can leave more surfaces and contents open to permanent damage like staining. This wetness of the materials could result from firefighting efforts or higher relative humidity in the Greater Largo region. 

• Impingement – Impinging is a collision of smoke and soils with surfaces and contents throughout the structure. An increase in warm air can cause a greater velocity and turbulence of the air and more contents and materials in the facility impacted. 

With so many factors that can influence the type of smoke, the thickness of residues, and the ease of cleaning commercial properties like your warehouse, fire restoration should be left to professionals. Our SERVPRO of Largo team is standing by to help 24/7 at (727) 586-0060.
