Fire

“We are so grateful to you for your quick response in dealing with our claim. We lost so many possessions such as photos in the fire that we just can’t replace. Despite being extremely upsetting, the Spettro team made things so much easier and completed all the paper work and organised builders so that our lives could get back to normal as soon as possible. Thank you so much Spettro for your help.”

A fire in the home is a traumatic experience and at a commercial premise can put your whole business at risk.

A little smoke will go a long way and it’s not uncommon for what seems a fairly small fire to affect an entire property and its contents.

As a result of heat and pressure, smoke accompanied by an acrid smell will penetrate into building materials through cracks in walls and up into floorboards.

Smoke and soot carbon deposits could be found in every nook and cranny in the house.

Soot is corrosive and will eat into the electronic components and wiring.

High temperatures cause the pores to expand and allow the smoke to penetrate them. As the structure cools and the pores contract they lock the smoke in. Smoke molecules can remain active in materials for up to 30 years causing odor problems, as the structure heats up and cools down with the seasons and with central heating.

It is extremely important that smoke contamination is professionally neutralized preventing residual odor problems or acidic attack.

Redecoration cannot be successfully concluded without the complete removal of these carbon deposits.

Spettro's professional technicians use ‘state of the art’ techniques, to detoxify and deodorize the contaminated air space.
