SERVPRO® A Comprehensive Approach to Fire Mitigation
7/23/2024 (Permalink)
If you have experienced fire damage in your home or business, we understand how devastating it can be. The lingering smell of smoke, visible damage, and the uncertainty of how to move forward. This is where SERVPRO® steps in, offering fire mitigation services to help property owners navigate the situation and restore the property to its prior condition.
Response and Assessment
When you call our line, the first step is a quick response. It is important to have a prompt response, as the longer the smoke and soot sit, the more it can become embedded in the structure and the affected contents. Our trained professionals arrive on-site swiftly to thoroughly assess the damage. They will evaluate the extent of the fire, smoke, and soot damage to determine the best course of action for restoration.
Securing the Property
An immediate concern following a fire is securing the property to prevent further damage and any unauthorized entry. A team of technicians will board up any windows and doors.
Water Removal and Drying
Firefighting efforts often leave behind significant water damage. We utilize advanced water removal and drying equipment to dry up/extract any water that may be present. This step helps prevent potential mold growth and further structural damage.
Smoke and Soot Removal
Smoke and soot can penetrate various surfaces while leaving behind stains and odors. Our team will utilize specialized techniques and equipment to remove smoke and soot from the walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. The use of air scrubbers, thermal foggers, and ozone treatments to eliminate lingering odors may be necessary to restore the structure to its preloss condition.
Cleaning/Sanitizing
The cleaning process involves removing smoke residues from all affected surfaces, including walls, floors, and personal belongings. We will use corporate-approved cleaning solutions to make sure your property is clean.
Communication and Support
Throughout the mitigation process, we will maintain open communication with you. Regular updates on the progress of the restoration will be provided and we will work closely with your insurance company to streamline the process. Our compassionate approach ensures that you feel supported every step of the way.
