When NLR technicians got to the site, the water had stopped flowing, but there was significant standing water, on floors, ceilings and even in light fixtures. On our first visit, we moved the affected contents and set up the dehumidifiers and air movers to get as much water out of rooms and air as possible. On our return, technicians performed thorough checks to see what still needed drying. In this case, we had to lift many carpets to dry underneath them. This process often means the carpet and underlay can be saved, dramatically reducing costs for the occupant or insurer. Once the rooms were dry, they were wiped down and disinfected as necessary, and final checks were performed to ensure satisfactory results, with all the findings and actions going into a detailed report for the customer.
We did battery fire damage cleaning of a lithium battery fire that occurred in a commercial facility in Brisbane. The battery caused smoke damage on contents and walls as well as odour throughout several rooms in the premises.
How we did Lithium Battery Clean Fire Clean Up
In this case, we were asked to provide mitigation efforts to have the business up and running as soon as possible. We worked on the weekend as well as a public holiday to have the task done.
Some of the steps included
-Relocate nonrecoverable contents
– Set up HEPA filtration/negative air to remove airborne particulate
– HEPA vacuum and treatment clean all surfaces inc ceilings, walls & floors
– Fire remediation clean to upholstery
– Washing down of walls with Alkaline chemical
– Dry rinsing of walls
– Dry sponging ceilings with chem sponge
– Fire remediation to table & chair set
– Containment of air conditioning.
– Ozone Machine / Hydroxyl treatment
– Remove equipment at the completion
– Clearance testing and Clearance Report
In this particular case, we contracted a hygienist to conduct fire damage post-remediation verification to ensure the property has been cleaned to industry standards. The industrial hygienist tested for a number of contaminants caused by a lithium battery fire including heavy metals etc.
