Why Do I Need Professional Soot Cleaning Services in Macomb Township?

11/27/2023 (Permalink)

We are trained and certified to clean and restore soot damage in Macomb County.

If you’ve ever attempted to remove soot from a surface you know how difficult soot is to remove. Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is trained and certified to restore surfaces exposed to soot damage. Soot is often difficult to clean due to its physical and chemical properties, which make it adhere strongly to surfaces. Here are some reasons why soot can be difficult to clean:

Fine Particles: Soot consists of very fine particles that can easily become airborne and settle on various surfaces. These fine particles can penetrate porous materials, making it challenging to remove them entirely.

Adhesive Properties: Soot contains compounds like tar and oils that can have adhesive properties. These substances can make soot stick to surfaces, creating a stubborn layer that is difficult to dislodge.

Porous Surfaces: Soot can penetrate into porous surfaces such as brick, concrete, wood, and fabric. Once it enters these materials, it becomes trapped and is harder to remove through conventional cleaning methods.

Static Electricity: Soot particles can carry a static charge, attracting them to surfaces and making them cling even more tightly.

Heat and Smoke Residue: Soot often results from the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials, such as wood, oil, or gasoline. The heat and smoke generated during a fire can cause soot to bond strongly with surfaces, forming a black, sticky residue.

Chemical Composition: The chemical composition of soot can vary depending on the source of the combustion. It may contain a mixture of carbon, ash, and other chemical compounds that contribute to its adhesion to surfaces.

If you find it difficult to remove the soot, it may be necessary to consult a professional restoration company, especially when dealing with extensive soot damage, to ensure that the cleaning process is done safely and effectively.

Thanksgiving Turkey Fryer Starts Fire in New Haven Home?

11/20/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team has been restoring fire damage in the New Haven area for over 15 years. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), turkey fryers that use oil and an open flame are unsafe to use. This is because these fryers use a large amount of cooking oil at high temperatures, which can lead to devastating burns in many cases. The NFPA suggests purchasing an infrared fryer or an electric turkey fryer approved and listed by a qualified testing laboratory, and never leave fryers unattended when in use.

Here are some key safety tips for operating any electric cooking appliance from the NFPA:

• Always use cooking equipment like air fryers, slow cookers, electric skillets, hot plates, griddles, etc., that are listed by a qualified testing laboratory.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on where and how to use appliances.
• Remember to unplug all appliances when not in use.
• Check cords regularly for damage. Do not use any appliance with a damaged cord.

Jack-o’-Lanterns at Macomb Township Halloween Party Catch Fire?

10/24/2023 (Permalink)

We are highly trained and certified to restore fire damage in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team responds to fire damage emergencies every year in Macomb Township. October is Residential Fire Awareness Month, and we want everyone to have a fun and fire-damage-free Halloween celebration this year. Here are some Halloween safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Tell children to stay away from open flames including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them. Be sure they know how to stop, drop, and roll if their clothing catches fire. (Have them practice, stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with their hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.)
• Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters.
• Use a battery-operated candle or glow stick in jack-o’-lanterns. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o’-lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways, and yards.

New Haven Home Damaged by Smoke from a Microwave Fire?

10/3/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County!

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team uses advanced technology, and specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke residue and smoke odor from fire-damaged properties in New Haven. Here are some examples of the kinds of equipment we use to remove smoke odor:

Air Scrubber or Filter

A heating, ventilation, air conditioning system (HVAC) air scrubber, or a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) air purifier can capture larger smoke molecules. There may be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.

Ozone Generator

An ozone generator is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.

Thermal Fogging

Thermal fogging is an intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors and ventilate the area.

Hydroxyl Generator

A hydroxyl generator is a slower and gentler alternative to ozone. These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.

Vapor Modification

Vapor modification is another odor elimination method that relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor.

Macomb Township Basement Floods Due to a Clogged Sump Pump Drain?

9/26/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County!

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is a trusted leader in water damage restoration services. One common cause of water damage in Macomb Township is basement flooding caused by clogged sump pump drainage systems.

Sump pumps are a critical component of a basement waterproofing system that is designed to prevent flooding by removing excess water from the sump pit and pumping it away from the home or building. When the sump pump drain becomes clogged, it disrupts the normal functioning of the pump and can lead to basement flooding.

When heavy rainfall or rising groundwater levels cause water to accumulate around the foundation, it enters the sump pit through the drain tiles or perimeter drains. The sump pump is activated when the water level in the pit rises to a certain point, and it pumps the water away from the building to a safe drainage area.

If the sump pump drain is clogged, the water cannot be pumped out effectively, and it starts to accumulate in the sump pit without being discharged. As the water level rises, it will eventually overflow the pit, leading to basement flooding.

Regular maintenance of the sump pump and its drainage system, including cleaning the sump pit and checking for clogs in the drain pipes, is essential to ensure its proper function and prevent basement flooding during periods of heavy rain or groundwater infiltration.
