FIRE DAMAGE BEYOND THE FLAMES

Most people think big flames and total destruction when they think of a fire-damaged home, but even small fires can cause extensive damage.

  • Even after the flames are extinguished, ash and smoke can damage materials left behind.
  • Smoke odor is pervasive and will spread through the home causing damage long after the fire if not properly remediated.
  • It only takes a few minutes for walls and other surfaces to become discolored and a few hours for the finishes on kitchen appliances to begin to yellow.
  • Smoke can cause etching in glass and tarnish on metal after a very short time.
  • Soot leaves behind a greasy, caustic residue that is difficult to remove with conventional cleansers.

ALL FIRE DAMAGES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL

At ServiceMaster®, we understand that every fire damage is unique. Our thorough restoration process includes:

  • Identifying the source of the fire to most effectively treat it based on the cause.
  • Evaluating any water damage incurred from firefighting efforts and remediating the damage if necessary.
  • Assessing sensitive materials for damage due to smoke and soot particles.
  • Removing damaged contents, especially items that are immediately needed such as clothing, prescriptions, school books, business needs, etc.
  • Providing pack out services from remaining content to be cleaned and stored.
  • Structural remediation including removal of porous contents that will hold onto smoke such as insulation and charred wood.
  • Evaluating other materials and structures such as carpets and floor coverings for removal.
  • Inspecting the structural integrity of the home for safety.
  • Treating and sealing surfaces for smoke odors to eliminate odors and restore surfaces to pre-loss conditions.
  • Packing in cleaned and restored contents to their original location.
