Title: Large Fire Job
Post by: David Barrett on March 31, 2010, 06:47:44 pm
Hi guys,

Just seeking some advice and knowledge.  I have just received a large fire job through a lost adjuster who got fed up with Chem Dry (no surprises) and was wondering what solution you would recommend for cleaning and deodorising  the carpet and upholstery?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Prochem Ultrapac renovate 100ml per litre hot water pre-spray.
Have you got a fogging machine?

Thanks for your quick response.

Yes i have a fogger.

I have some Ultrapac Renovate but haven't used it yet.  I have been warned that it is very strong and to use as a last resort. 

What would you use as a rinse after?

Fibre fabric rinse will do the trick.

Why would i need a fogger? are you suggesting fogging the property as an after service?  If so, its a good idea  ;)

When you go to do the job give the carpets a good pre vac first pre spray with ultrapac renovate  allow time to dwell and rinse off with fibre fabric rinse. If you have got to clean the walls use virosol from clover chemicals it is brill and cheaper than ultrapac renovate. once you have completed fog the property.

I've used ultrapac renovate and it's really good stuff, can get on your chest a bit and will like most chemicals really dry your hands out afterwards.
But as a last resort I rate it highly, as previous post a good acid rinse is .

If you don't mind me asking how did you get into fire work?

Fire work is easy to get into if you have got a franchise which is on insurance panels.  If you are a sole trader trying to get fire restoration work it is hard. You need to go around local loss adjusters although they are tied to who they can use they do have some flexability. The money can be very rewarding.

I worked for Chem Dry for 6 years dealing with flood and fire restoration and in that period i built up a good understanding with a few local loss adjusters.  So now that i have gone self emp they have started passing cleaning work my way, slowly but surely :)

Dave

Thank you very much to all who have been very helpful that's why i love this forum.

....Or so your franchisor will tell you  ,, this is absolutely NOT true, I work for a company subbing on jobs,, they always gross well over 3 million a year on disaster work, many more companies are the same .
