Fire Damage across Building Materials

The response of various building materials, including steel, concrete, wood, brick, and glass, to fire can be vastly different. Direct exposure to flames may cause charring on wooden surfaces. Also, wood can absorb odors from smoke, resulting in persistent and unpleasant smells even after the visible damage is addressed. SERVPRO® may use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, or the application of specialized odor-neutralizing agents to tackle the smell.

Dealing with Water Damage on Wooden Surfaces 

Some wooden materials can swell and warp when exposed to moisture, altering their shape and structural integrity. The finish may, however, slow the moisture absorption rate by making the wood’s surface less porous. SERVPRO crews use dehumidifiers and air movers to prevent warping, swelling, and mold growth.
