Recently in McMinnville Oregon there was a house that caught on fire because of the electrical microwave that had a power supply short and burn the components inside the house. Disaster Master was hired to do the structural clean of the house as well as the content cleaning. Disaster Master tapped off the roof where the fire had left a huge hole in the roof. Asbestos samples were pulled from the affected areas prior to removal because the house was older then 2004 and this is required by law in Oregon. After the asbestos test results came back negative the Disaster Master team removed all insulation, kitchen cabinets, kitchen drywall and kitchen flooring. All contents were packed up, transported and stored at Disaster Master’s office so they could clean each item to remove the smoke odor. All items that were not salvageable were disposed of. All the floors in the house were also removed and disposed of too. The team washed all surfaces in the house and repeated the process a few times to help remove the soot and smoke odor. All of the content cleaning was similar to structural cleaning where each salvaged item was cleaned multiple times to help remove all soot and smoke odors. The homeowner was very pleased with the work that Disaster Master did because they helped salvage her belongings and make the house safe for her to be in after all the structural and content cleaning was done.
