SERVPRO Teams Can Remove Commercial Fire Damage from New Orleans Facilities

New Orleans craft brewery owners should know that there has been an average of two US craft brewery fires a month since December 2018. While beer and other low alcohol content beverages are not very flammable, the presence of heat, electronics, and dust can create the perfect environment for a fire to ignite.

If a manufacturing-related disaster necessitates commercial fire damage restoration for your New Orleans business, SERVPRO technicians are trained in fire damage mitigation techniques. Both technicians and franchise owners are knowledgeable about best practices for handling fire damage, including cleanup for fire suppression efforts.

What Do Brewery Insurance Companies Recommend for Fire Safety?

    •    Make sure that boilers and kettles are separated from your facilities with a commercial-grade fire break.
    •    Ensure that dust from grain milling is kept in a contained area to prevent dust explosions.
    •    Ventilation is key to preserving safety as well as indoor air quality.
    •    Make sure smoke alarms, fire monitors, and sprinkler systems are operational and to code. Have a system prepared for easy relaying of fire alerts to your local fire department.

How Does SERVPRO Eliminate Fire Damage Residues from My Business?

SERVPRO technicians focus first on removing unsalvageable debris to lessen the spread of soils and odors before focusing on cleaning of surfaces and structures. Technicians start with dry cleaning light residue accumulation before mitigating heavier soiling with an alkaline cleaning agent.

Machinery and electronics require extensive cleaning to prevent soot residues from becoming acidic in the presence of moisture. To prevent this corrosion, SERVPRO can assist you in finding a licensed brewery maintenance specialist.
