A fire can be an especially devastating for a family. While most people escape without any immediate physical harm, they often are left with a home damaged by fire, smoke and water. In almost every case of fire-related damage, it pays for a homeowner to deal with a professional remediation company that has experience with similar situations. Here is why:
Fire damage – In addition to possibly causing significant damage, a fire also can leave the home exposed to the elements and allow subsequent damage. The first priority of a remediation company should be to secure the home from the worst ravages of Mother Nature and any intruders — wild animal or human. If you call ServiceMaster Restore, we guarantee to have an initial crew on site within 24 hours.
Smoke damage – One of the lesser-known damages that can occur during a fire is smoke infiltration into other parts of the home. It is truly remarkable how quickly smoke can penetrate the paint, carpet and furniture in undamaged portions of a home. Many homeowners attribute the odor in the unscorched areas to the damaged portion and do not realize until much later that their entire home has been affected. It can be a costly mistake.
Other damage – Firefighters have one goal — to extinguish the fire. If they come to your home to fight a fire, they could cause enormous damage to the house and its contents. Some of the damage will come from the use of their tools, but most of it will be caused by the water used to extinguish the blaze. Mold can rapidly become a problem. The best remediation companies do not treat just the obvious damage, but also search for problems underneath the obviously affected surfaces.

Our Restoration Process
Emergency Contact
As soon as the firefighters are gone, call us to report the incident. The longer you wait, the worse the damage gets.
Inspection and assessment of the damage
Upon arrival, our professionals will use special tools to assess the scope of the fire and smoke damage. An accurate assessment is critical to a flawless restoration process.
Board-up and roof-tarp
To maintain security and prevent further damage, we board up missing windows, doors, and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs.
Water removal
We use dehumidifiers and air movers among other equipment to remove leftover water to facilitate the drying process.
Removal of soot and smoke from surfaces
Soot and smoke on the walls, ceiling, and other surfaces is then removed within the shortest time possible.
Debris removal, cleaning, and general sanitation
Once the water and smoke have been removed, we move to cleaning and sanitizing any restorable items. Any water or soot on these items is removed using scrubbing equipment and fogging devices with deodorizers.
Restoration
If the building faces minor or major damage after the fire, we will quickly and efficiently reconstruct it to its previous condition.
