Fire Damage Restoration

8/7/2024 (Permalink)

Fire restoration takes many techniques to fully restore you structure and property.

After the firefighters leave, your house might have damage from the fire and smoke, plus a lot of water damage from the firefighting. SERVPRO of Hardin/Larue Counties is trained to fix your home and make it like it was before the fire.

Do you have questions about damage from fire, smoke, or soot? Every fire is a little different and needs a special solution, but the general steps we take are the same for most fires. Here’s a simple version of what we do:

Step 1: Emergency Contact
The restoration process starts when you call the SERVPRO National Call Center, which is open all day, every day. Our representative will ask you questions about the fire so we can send the closest SERVPRO team with the right tools to help you.

Step 2: Inspection and Fire Damage Assessment
Our team will inspect your home carefully to see how much damage there is from the fire, smoke, and soot. This helps us plan how to fix everything.

Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service
Fires can damage windows, walls, and roofs. To keep your home safe and prevent more damage, we can board up broken windows and walls and cover damaged roofs with tarps.

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if there's water damage)
We start removing water right away. We take out most of the water first, then use special machines to dry the rest.

Step 5: Removal of Smoke and Soot from All Surfaces
SERVPRO of Hardin/Larue Counties uses special tools and methods to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other places.

Step 6: Cleaning and Sanitizing
We clean everything that can be saved and fix anything damaged by the fire. Our team uses different cleaning methods to make things like they were before the fire. We also remove bad smells using air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Step 7: Restoration
This is the last step—making your home or business look like it did before the fire. This might mean small fixes like replacing drywall, painting, and putting in new carpet, or bigger repairs like rebuilding parts of your home or business.
