Outdoor Electrical Wire Lead to Fire On Wood Deck

This damaged Wisconsin home was the result of a faulty electrical wire connected to the wood deck.  Notice the extent of the fire damage; the vinyl siding has melted away and soot and charring are present on the wood framing.  Even though the wiring was outside, it still can cause damage to the home and lead to an interior fire.  The technicians at SERVPRO of SW Waukesha County used a very powerful air compressor and sodium bicarbonate to remove the black charring. 

This method of media blasting also helps in deodorization after the fire.  This process helped save thousands of dollars in repair on this claim because the materials were able to be salvaged.  SERVPRO has used this method on numerous fire jobs throughout the country so our expertise is helpful in restoring property.
