Fire In A Hair Salon

3/9/2022 (Permalink)

Recently, a hair salon in Norwalk suffered an overnight fire due to the wire in one of the blow dryers shorting, sparking, and igniting nearby materials.  We were able to be on scene before the fire department left, so remediation began immediately.  Thankfully the damage was not structural, so we had more of a cleanup and minor rebuilding ahead of us.

First, we removed all of the damaged materials and items.  We disposed of them properly, and moved to the next step of the process. We began to clean all of the surfaces that had smoke and soot damage, making them discolored.  Using safe, but powerful chemicals, we removed all of the unsightly and unwanted residue from counters, floors, walls, and all of the pieces of hairdressing equipment.

Next, we addressed the strong smoke odors that permeated surfaces in the space.  Using a combination of air purifiers and surface cleaners, we removed the bad smells entirely.

Business interruption is always the first thing on any business owner’s mind.  The owner was very pleased that the entire process only took a few days.
