SERVPRO Has the Tools and Expertise to Provide Fire Damage Repair in Farmington
After a fire, the emotional hassle and trauma of restoring your home to its original condition can take a toll on you. Therefore, you need assistance from certified professionals to complete the restoration process wisely. By hiring a professional firm like SERVPRO, you can avoid complications that can create problems in the future.
If you attempt fire damage restoration in your Farmington residence, you might inhale the smoke and soot trapped in different surfaces. Once you contact us, we can begin the restoration process by assessing the damage. Starting the restoration process quickly enables us to prevent secondary fire damage. Our SERVPRO team can handle the following types of destruction:
- Smoke damage – The smoke emitted during a fire can ruin the painted walls, clothing, upholstery, and other reactive surfaces it contacts. If the smoke residues are light, wet cleaning or dry sponge cleaning can sufficiently eliminate all residues.
- Water damage – The water that firefighters use can create problems afterward. We can remove the water using portable pumps or wet/dry vacuums and use dehumidifiers to eliminate the moisture. SERVPRO technicians can also use moisture meters to monitor moisture content and humidity levels.
- Soot – This substance consists mainly of carbon and other toxic chemicals. It is acidic and can ruin the surfaces it contacts. We can use strong acid cleaners to eliminate smoke and soot from brick and stone.
- Odor – Odor affects the air quality. Our SERVPRO team can eliminate odors using thermal fogging equipment or products like odor counteractants.
At times, heat damage can cause scorching and charring of wood framing. If this has happened in your home, we can replace the framing if it is damaged to the point of causing a loss of structural integrity. If the framing has caused a significant loss of surface material, we can consult a structural engineer or building inspector to approve the restoration.
