What Equipment Is Used to Repair & Restore a Home

If your home has sustained fire, flood, or storm damage, several pieces of equipment can be used in the repair and recovery process. Here at True Builders, we utilize advanced industry equipment to complete our repair and recovery services for your residential property in Winter Haven, Lakeland, Plant City, and the surrounding cities. Below, you can learn about some of the equipment we use to perform our repair services.

Smoke and soot removal products work well for homes with fire damage.

Our home repair company uses smoke and soot removal products for homes that have sustained fire damage. These heavy-duty products are compromised of tough cleaning agents that are designed to remove silt and soot from surfaces like:

  • Painted surfaces
  • Walls
  • Sealed wood
  • Fixtures

These cleaning agents are available in various dilution options, so we will never apply too much to sensitive areas of your home. Depending on the extent of the soot debris that has accumulated around your home, we have special products for use on your home’s carpeted areas. These gentle products are stain-resistant, so you can rest assured that we will restore your home without causing further damage.

All of the smoke and soot removal products we use are non-greasy and won’t leave any unwanted residue behind. They work well for removing heavy smoke odors that have infiltrated your home.

Our contractors use these cleaning products and dry cleaning soot sponges to efficiently remove soot and silt debris from your property.

We use air scrubbers to purify the air of your property.

When your home sustains fire damage, the air can become tainted with smoke. This makes it dangerous for residents and visitors to even be present. As part of our property repair services, we use air scrubbers and other airflow tools to purify the air of your home. We have compact models that allow us to maneuver into tight spaces and commercial models to more efficiently cover large spaces.

These air purifiers are also great for properties that have sustained mold damage. Mold-ridden properties can cause health issues like:

  • Skin irritation
  • Throat irritation
  • Nasal stuffiness
  • Wheezing and coughing

With our team’s advanced air scrubbers and airflow tools, we improve your property’s air quality and make it safe for residents and visitors to resume their everyday routines.

Flood water extractors let us remove large amounts of water from your property.

After a severe storm, your property may experience significant flooding. When you give us a call, our repair contractors will arrive at your property with flood water extractors. This equipment lets us remove large amounts of water from your property at rates of up to several gallons of water per minute. We have large models and portable ones on-hand to most efficiently handle the extent of water removal that your home requires.
