The quiet halls of SC State College were disrupted recently by an electrical wiring fire in the women's bathroom. While such incidents can leave a trail of damage and disruption, the swift action of SERVPRO has been pivotal in ensuring that normalcy returns to this educational institution. Prior to starting, asbestos testing was conducted due to potential ceiling damage, while the college safely stored legal documents and artwork. Using chemical sponges, SERVPRO cleaned the structure to minimize the need for repainting, and meticulously cleaned contents in place, including appliances and electronics. Both porous and non-porous surfaces were thoroughly cleaned throughout the building. Coordination with the adjuster ensured seamless sub-contracting of duct cleaning, scheduled to begin after SERVPRO's completion. Finally, a fogging treatment was applied to eliminate odors, concluding a comprehensive restoration effort to return SC State College to normalcy promptly. The fire at SC State College presented a challenging situation, but thanks to the swift and efficient response of SERVPRO, the damage has been mitigated, and the path to recovery is clear. By employing advanced cleaning techniques, careful coordination with stakeholders, and a commitment to thoroughness, SERVPRO has ensured that SC State College can soon resume its vital educational activities without the lingering effects of the fire. Their dedication serves as a testament to the importance of professional fire restoration services in restoring order after unexpected disasters.
