Mt. Juliet Rafter and Roof Fire Damage

Fire from a lightning strike burnt a hole through the roof and also damaged some of the rafters. The thick deposit of smoke caused by stored petroleum containers required special attention for the cleanup. The initial move is to close up the roof to prevent animals or rain from compounding the fire damage. This is another case of where ice blasting is a practical application for removing the smoky and charred residues from the timbers. Two technicians and a hopper can quickly dispatch the stains, set up several ozone machines, and vacate the damaged area until the following day. An odor trapping primer can then be sprayed on the rafters, a thermal fogging proceeding this, and the odors are vanquished or shielded from being offensive. Rely on the Fire & Smoke Restoration technicians from SERVPRO of Wilson County to cleanup the mess "Like it never even happened."
