During the recent extremely hot period this summer, an electrical component overheated and caused an electrical fire in a roof top HVAC unit of a popular Portland Maine restaurant. The fire department used water to extinguish the fire, causing significant water damage to both floors of the building. ServiceMaster Elite responded within hours to extract water from the building, place dehumidification to help stabilize the moist environment and immediately began drying the structure.
Once the Water Damage Restoration was started, the ServiceMaster Elite team focused on removing soot and odor throughout the building that was caused by the electrical fire. Soot was found on every surface throughout the 14,000 square foot restaurant. ServiceMaster Elite technicians began by HEPA vacuuming the surfaces, then using a dry sponge to remove surface soot from walls and floors. By installing HEPA filters with carbon media ServiceMaster Elite was able to remove any odor from the air, and through a detailed process of soot cleaning and deodorization was able to reopen the restaurant within two days.
