Restoring Your Home After a Fire: How SERVPRO® Can Help

3/7/2025 (Permalink)

Structure of a home after a fire damage

A fire can be one of the most devastating events a homeowner or business owner can experience. Even after the flames are out, the damage left behind—smoke, soot, and water from firefighting efforts—can feel overwhelming. That’s where SERVPRO® comes in. Our experienced team specializes in fire damage restoration, working quickly and efficiently to help you recover and get back to normal, making it “like it never even happened.”

Understanding Fire Damage

Fire damage isn’t just about what the flames destroy. Smoke and soot can spread throughout your property, coating surfaces and leaving behind strong odors. Water damage from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth if not addressed quickly. That’s why fire damage restoration requires a thorough, multi-step process.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process

1. Emergency Contact & Assessment

Our team is available 24/7 to respond quickly after a fire. We assess the extent of the damage, develop a plan, and walk you through the next steps.

2. Board-Up & Roof-Tarp Service

If necessary, we secure damaged windows, walls, and roofs to prevent further damage from weather, vandalism, or animals.

3. Water Removal & Drying

If water was used to extinguish the fire, we extract standing water and use specialized drying equipment to prevent mold and structural damage.

4. Smoke & Soot Removal

Using advanced techniques and equipment, we remove smoke and soot from walls, ceilings, and other surfaces to prevent further damage and lingering odors.

5. Cleaning & Sanitizing

Our team deep cleans all restorable items and structures affected by the fire. We also use industrial-grade air scrubbers and fogging equipment to remove smoke odors.

Whether it’s minor repairs like drywall replacement or major reconstruction, we handle the necessary repairs to restore your property fully.
