Recovering Wethersfield Fire Damage & Water Damage
This is a larger town in the county abutting the Connecticut River and is a settlement that has stood since the 17th century. Wethersfield has a rich history, including colonial America, with one of the largest historic districts in the state boasting more than 1100 buildings representing the architecture of the 1600s through the 1800s. Its fast access from Interstate 91 makes this a popular tourist destination for those looking for a glimpse into the past.
While these properties are enough to keep the Wethersfield Historical Society busy throughout the year, modern structures also provide vast employment opportunities for residents and challenges for restoration professionals after disasters. The facilities serving as the headquarters for the Connecticut Department of Correction and the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles are prime examples.
Managing Moisture Concerns
Disasters resulting in water damage like leaks and compromised plumbing require swift attention from qualified restoration professionals. While a priority is the removal of surface water pooling in areas of the house, removing trapped moisture in building materials can be more critical to prevent degradation and controlled demolition. First, SERVPRO professionals must find where damp pockets exist.
Tracking water damage requires:
- Surface moisture sensors
- Thermal imagery
- Hygrometers
- Probing detection tools
Cleaning Soot and Fire Damage
Soot presents an immediate challenge for restoration professionals. With solvents, abrasive cleaning equipment, and even controlled demolition, we can manage these conditions to protect the house. Pre-testing surfaces with our products ensure that we do not cause avoidable harm to wood finishes, paint, and the outermost layer of building materials and contents.
Odors can be an unfortunate effect of fire loss in many homes. Deodorization and cleaning are critical after a fire, with many historic properties like the Joseph Webb House and the Buttolph-Williams House featuring much of their original building materials.
When your home suffers fire damage, you can count on the swift response of SERVPRO to help. Call us at (860) 633-8791.
