Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment

After you give SERVPRO a call, our water and fire damage team will come to your property with the proper tools and equipment specific to your fire. We will assess the property and damaged areas and create a plan of action to complete the entire restoration.

Water Removal and Drying

When a fire strikes, water damage can occur from firefighters putting the fire out. The water removal process must begin almost immediately to prevent further water damage. SERVPRO professionals will work to fully extract the water and dry the space so the cleaning and restoration can begin. 

Removal of Smoke and Soot

Ceilings, walls, and floors that are affected by fire and smoke damage will be cleaned at this stage. Depending on the level of fire damage a variety of methods and techniques will be used to remove all smoke and soot from walls and other surfaces in your home or business. 

Cleaning and Sanitizing

We want to make sure that all restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire are properly cleaned. We have a variety of cutting-edge cleaning techniques to restore odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment 

Repair and Reconstruction

Our final step is to ensure your home or business is back to its pre-fire condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs and construction projects such as replacing drywall, painting, installing new floors, or repairing entire structures.
