Restoring Your Property After A Fire

12/7/2020 (Permalink)

When your residential or commercial is hit by a fire, your top priority is ensuring everyone's safety. Once everyone is safe and the fire has been put out, getting your property cleaned and repaired becomes the priority. In some cases, especially when the fire was small, property owners may believe restoration is a DIY opportunity. Here are four reasons why the correct course of action is to enlist professional fire remediation help:

Water Removal

1. Most property owners do not realize that a primary component of fire damage remediation is water remediation. Standing water left behind after the fire extinguishing efforts can have severe ramifications. Moisture  and standing water will cause damage to furniture, electronics, clothing, drywall, ceilings, flooring, and more. Water removal must be done quickly. The Disaster Remediation Teams at SERVPRO of Foxborough utilize water pumps, wet-vacs, high-velocity fans and dehumidifiers to extract the water and moisture quickly, thereby mitigating the damage. Fire damage unfortunately, has collateral damage.

Smoke Damage

The smoke damage that results from a fire can be quite substantive. In fact, the smoke left behind can become embedded in your furniture, flooring, carpets, and walls. If left unaddressed, this smoke damage can remain in your property for years. Soot, another by-product of specific fires, needs special attention for proper clean up to avoid staining of walls and furniture. Effectively removing smoke necessitates the use of professional procedures and products that fire restoration specialists from SERVPRO of Foxborough have in their arsenal.

Salvageable Goods

In many cases, property owners who seek to complete the remediation process on their own will throw away items that are salvageable. Don't make this mistake. Instead, allow SERVPRO of Foxborough to assist you with this aspect of the restoration process. This inventories affected household items and classifies them into non-salvageable, salvageable or questionable lists. Items can be containerized and cleaned by our IICRC-trained technicians.

Time Efficiency

When property owners take on the restoration process themselves saving money is usually the driving factor. Unfortunately, the trade-off to the cost savings is lost time and poor results. Rest assured, when you partner with experts at SERVPRO of Foxborough the job will be done right. Our teams will work tirelessly to ensure that the work is completed as efficiently as possible.
